My to-do list before the year ends
December 11, 2008My current mood swings and lack of anything better to do led me to writing this To-do List. I limited the list to 3 items. There will be absolutely no excuse from me not to accomlish them.
1) Finish that darn long overdue portfolio. It has been weeks. What am I waiting for? (the economic crisis to end?) After printing them, deliver to probable clients asap. I know too well that I lack the motivation. Years of being a workaholic and a permanent fixture on my former office took a toll in my career. Now, I am having doubts whether I still want to practice my profession. Getting that portfolio done will solve half of my problems right now.
2) Finish the editing of our wedding video. A year has passed. Grabe. Hope they won’t charge us for the delay. It’s a good thing, there is a very long Christmas break.
3) Do a To-do List for 2009. Doing a list every year really works for me. I have a batting average of 80% of accomplishing the list.
Among the 3, the 3rd is the easiest. The 2nd the hardest.
This is really a blah day for me. I already wrote two blogs. Time to stop surfing and blogging. Time to get off my a**.
S.A.D.
I have S.A.D. It’s not an emotion. It’s not a disease. It’s Seasonal Affective Disorder. It’s a state of the body due to the weather. Today is mostly cloudy, the sun hardly visible. It affects one’s mood. In other words, parang depressed na hindi. Walang dahilan, literally dahil lang sa kundisyon ng panahon. I’m working in a brightly lit space. I’m listening to Christmas songs. I’m not even doing what I’m supposed to do, which is work. Yet, I am experiencing the blues. It really is sad. I am temporarily afflicted with S.A.D. As the acronym suggests, this type of disorder affects us seasonally. O di ba, literal talaga! Thank God. It’s not me, I have the weather to blame for this crappy mood.
