i have been neglecting this blog for a while due to my latest addiction with Tumblr. blah. micro-blogging is too addictive, and rather stressful at times in my opinion; having to keep up with the pace of things. everything is just so...FAST!

why can't things slow down for a change these days? we live in a society that craves instantaneity - fast food, text messages, the internet, fast fad diets etc. we become accustomed to the fact that we should be able to get what we want, FAST. we want IMMEDIATE results. what happened to the concept of 'no pain, no gain'? i don't deny the fact that i too wish there was an instant solution for everything. after all, in most aspects of our lives, be it school or work, we are pushed into having to produce results quickly; till we have been programmed to think that way.

on top of all that, the internet is also forcing us to be multi-taskers - IM, emails, social networking sites, TUMBLR and yes, i almost forgot, uni work. so how are we supposed to keep our focus? how can we ensure that we're giving our 100% to everything that we do? i guess we can't really. but what we can do is to prioritize. so i guess the lesson for me now is to prioritize my next 6 weeks. that's right, my LAST 6 weeks of uni. focusing on a few things at a time will ensure that my head is not muddled-up, help alleviate stress, and in turn, produce better results. so now, i'm gonna take the next 15 minutes to jot down my priorities and keep the focus.
