Multitasking…


At 22, I am institutionalized.

I have rules, an agenda, a meeting and a team of people to work with.

The older I become the lesser my autonomy.

But most of it is self-inflicted.

The list of things for me to do on a daily basis include:

  1. Read eco times
  2. Read TOI
  3. Work on the paper
  4. Meet professors for discussion
  5. Read a book (currently reading Blue Ocean)
  6. College work (placement, alumni etc)
  7. Presentations (Variable)
  8. CSR projects
  9. the inevitable studying. (Highly variable)
  10. and a list of things I do for other people purely out of guilt.

Such kind of Multitasking is actually considered to be a good thing in management.

I could be viewed as someone with high energy levels, very active etc. (flaws of HR?)

To me I am just doing stuff…

I have the time and I have the resources, I mite as well make full use..

Don’t misunderstand. I do have a life…my occasional visits to Leo’s never stop, I still walk around fort and I still go shopping.

Now the real thing to wonder is…

Does doing so many things, which you believe is worthwhile always good?

I dunoo…

But I remember reading somewhere:

“Doing stuff is overrated. Like Hitler. Wouldn’t we all wish he would have just stayed at home and gotten stoned.”

Point is: Its okay to be lazy, its okay to sleep extra one day and reach a little late for work.

And if you get a brilliant Idea at 3 in morning...please go back to sleep... nothing is as important as it first seems.
