One Day at a Time

[alchemistdoctor]

Well now that I've typed that title, I have to insert some good old 1970's nonsense*:

"GODSPELL - DAY BY DAY" (Watch on YouTube)

Now that's done, a mini rant:

Right now I've got my thesis and four other courses going on, and I'm overwhelmed. Not in the day-by-day sense, but in the sense that I go from understanding high-complexity concepts to understanding more high-complexity concepts, one to the other to the other, with very little time for my brain to break. While yes, theoretically, I have enough time to get all my things done, that only works if I take no time to decompress.

I'm feeling very compressed.


*Godspell is hysterical in that I'm convinced you have to be high in order to make it, and yet Christians who believe the stuff in it would tell you that being high is a sin. I'm so amused by it. The music's still prime 70's nonsense though. 10/10. Edit: Also the costumes. My god, the costumes.

your comment about needing to decompress reminded me of an old one liner about meditating: I meditate for half an hour everyday unless I don't have the time, then case I meditate for an hour

I wish. It's more like "I attempt to meditate and feel so guilty about not doing my work that I go back to working because not doing it makes me twice as anxious as doing it."

Grr thanks for parsing that, I must have posted mid edit. The productivity guilts are a problem for everyone now days, try to make time for yourself but don't make it another thing to beat yourself up about not doing.
