Word of the Week #168:
Generally, I pride myself on two qualities which may seem rather paradoxical:
My ability to plan and prepare such that I never have to get things done at the last moment.My ability, whenever required, to always get things done at the last moment.However, there are instances when I happen to disregard the former and rely on the latter, and while I do get the job done, it comes at a cost.
Today, I could have written a post earlier in the afternoon and had it scheduled to be posted around midnight. Instead, I chose to spend my time doing something that, for the life of me, I cannot recall.
“I can get it done at any time I want, right? I am good at this.“
And now, with less than half an hour to midnight, I am typing away on a touchscreen device just hours after having dislocated my left thumb.
Yes, it hurts.
No, I won’t go to the doctor.
Now, shall I conclude that I am struggling to get things done because I chose to wing it and should never do that again, or should I always chose to wing it because I can always get things done regardless how much I am struggling?
Either way, considering I started 28 minutes before my deadline and finished with 14 minutes to go, I think this is a good choice to have.
