It’s been quite a while since I have placed my
hands on my keyboard...
If I was an octopus I would have had time
for my cyberspace life but all my hands has been filled by work, education and
day-to-day chores at home.
I don’t mean to be naive but the time I
have spend “offline” was worth the sacrifice.
This is just a glimpse on my blog, there’s still exams yet to come, and on the same
breath Macufe 2013 followed by Mahungra to disrupt my preparation for the exam
lol [I know I’m not the only one enduring
this sharp guilt]. The more one has to focus on important things the more the entertainment space erupts.
All these needs a technique called “Time Management”; a simple technique
which does not even need any qualification to exert and explore, yet plays a pivotal
role in managing ones time. It is really
hard to depend on the mind because as humans we tend to forget and in most cases,
we forget quite a number of important tasks to undertake.
It is time to do things the old way, back to
“To do list” placed on the refrigerator.
Nothing beats the old way! Yes we do have the advantage of the latest
technology to make use of like reminders on our mobile and smartphones but I
must say we are not consistent enough.
The twitter TL (timeline) is blazing hot with trending topics, facebook
is raging with juicy status updates, comments and new friend requests, a new
reminder suddenly appears we don’t even read what it says but instantly dismiss
it to get to the new sizzling hot gossips and discussions, while, on the other
hand, missing a very important task to do; a meeting to attend to, or even to
wish your friend, colleague, or family a birthday wish. It is not bad to wish them a belated birthday
but hard to do so on a scheduled meeting or on what you had to study.
All these comes down to “I’m also a human, I
forget or make mistakes”. These doesn’t
have to be deliberate though, a sotho
proverb says “moiketsi ha a llelwe”
[he who rejects advice deserves no sympathy]. Wake up and push yourselves
people, “ha ho kgomu ya boroko” [no
one will pay you for sleeping]. I hope this is an eye opener to those who
procrastinate and to those (including myself) who always get stung by a lazy
cyber-bee.
If you can’t stick to your reminders stick them on your refrigerator!
Aloha!
