Starting a
Fresh Week without Regret
We often have
so many expectations for the weekend. It is like we’d be able to complete all
of our planned activities before the start of a fresh week. We start the weekend
with so much enthusiasm and end up with regrets due to our inability to
complete our laid down tasks.
This is my
weekend story. I had lots of activities to do. I planned on creating new
contents for my blog, making a feast to celebrate my young sis. JAMB result, go
for a glasses test and get a new set for my eyes, finish the Paulo's book I’d
been reading since the beginning of the week…and other activities.
Now this is
it, we planned on going to the eye clinic, meeting with my dad's appointment
and going to the market for shopping. We ended up leaving home late and because
of that, we could achieve just a thing… meeting with the appointment. I was
able to read Paulo’s book, though I still couldn’t complete it.
I told myself
‘I’ll stay all night, enjoy some data bonus and do lots of planned activities'.
I ended up sleeping through the night and waking up with grumbles and
lamentations.
Then Sunday
came and I ended up pushing all other activities to the pitiful day. I achieved
some other things, but not half of what I had planned.
Now this is
it, we have to give a realistic target for our weekend. We should have time for
fun, work and relaxation…after all, it’s the weekend.
We shouldn’t
be in despair if we don’t achieve our planned goals. Shit happens unexpectedly
and we can’t control them.
We are not
machines and so we cannot keep track of all of our activities. Create a to-do
list highlighting goals for the day. Have a small jotter to list your
planned goals for the week (from the most important to the least) and work
towards making them a reality. This way, you’ll be to keep track of all
activities and prevent procrastination and forgetfulness.
Enjoy your
weekend to the fullest, have a fresh start for the week and you’ll have nothing
to regret.
