i didn't forget!
Jan. 5th, 2013 05:26 pmi know i've been skipping but i didn't i swear :D
my 2013 planner came!! i got another muji weekly/daily note and i love love love love it <3 it's so good
and i guess with the planner i don't need this as much, but i'll keep it up for now anyway. since i'm still at home and my stuff's all over the place. heading back up to berk tmr though
yesterday i redownloaded a lot of my music collection but sheesh it takes forever! how did i even lose it in the first place? i definitely have to back everything up onto my external once i get back.
i also thought about it and decided to drop my korean gig. i'll contact my friends and see if any of them are interested. scott has a bit to say about overcommitment and focus, and even earl, whom i've been listening to almost every day, says:
William James said: "We need only in cold blood act as if the thing in question were real, and it will become infallibly real by growing into such a connection with our life that it will become real. It will become so knit with habit and emotion that our interests in it will be those which characterize belief." He continues, " ... only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them exclusively, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly."
and i thought about it and it's so true. ever since high school i've had the trouble of too much stuff. i used to use it as an excuse for being lazy, because my motivation sucked and i didn't get the work done even when i had no pressure and only 1-2 commitments (so when i had 7-8 still as shoddily done i felt accomplished for balancing them all), but that's not really a good excuse-__- so this semester i'm going to focus. and phase out the stuff that isn't really mine. which is interesting, because the stuff i really want to do (piano and side cs projects and movies/music/etc) actually don't have ANY time commitments scheduled into my life unlike school, and if i want to get anything done for myself i'm going to have to schedule ruthlessly and reprioritize a lot of stuff and not confuse priorities with deadlines. so we'll see how that goes. so far i've decided that i don't mind stuff like work and dance because they only happen during the set timeframes and don't require any thought when i leave it. they also help me set a pattern in my week, without which i can turn into a real slob. O___O;
