Why do I even bother?
Its become as much a part of my weekly routine as anything else vital to my sane existence. Every Sunday afternoon, I tediously go through the weeks To-Do list, knowing full well it is only destined to grow, and attempt to schedule each and every working moment of the week Monday thru Friday. This effort does wonders for my immediate phyche, putting my worrisome mind at ease that I do in fact have all the time I need to accomplish any and all tasks I’ve been assigned while still leaving room for the essentials in life, like the Bar and Tiger Woods 2009 for PS3.
The problem I’m beginning (and by beginning I mean its been there all along but I’m just now starting to realize it) to all to blatantly notice is in my execution of this carefully laid out plan throughout the duration of the week. What good is a weekly assignment schedule if I end up blowing off three hours of scheduled study time to go to Best Buy with my roomies, buy Top Gun on BlueRay and sit and be a vegetable all night? Its starting looks like its no good. I struggle with this issue however each and every day, I am contently fighting a painful battle between the things I want to do and the things I need to do.
My question for all of my (and by that I mean none, atleast not at the time of writing this) readers is, am I overreacting? Is my intense overuse of MS Outlook’s task and calendar features just a high quality attempt to reach a level of efficiency that most only dream about or am I truly loosing my mind as I follow a [poorly written at times] software program blindly into a deep blackhole where free will is only free if its 7-8:30am on a Saturday morning because thats the only time slot I dont have already filled with pointless other shit?
