The Missing “ME”

                 The other day, being the Month end, I was working on a late shift and had possibly a stretch of time due to unfinished works and had to make up of what’s been up so far and ended up very late for dinner and to bed. It struck me in awe to understand what will be the reality, if this is going to be a day to day story, where in the world amidst pandemic are we going to go? Was realistic question to understand and think?

            I quickly made some quick pointers to understand what’s been the missing part because of this!, and listed that I will be missing to catch up virtually with friends, no time for family, no time for other things in life and it also came to big eye-opener that I will also miss that time for me!, the thought on goals, aspirations, passions and what more!

            I then took up a recent statistics to understand is it my problem but realized that its become a global problem of missing work-life balance for many ending up in major either health issues or mental disorders to struggle with life.

            Every time in life, we end up being busy but we don’t know, actually what are we busy about and ending up losing the moments in life, made me realize that there needs to be an actual plan of some order to come out of this scenario of what’s been the need of the hour.

            We may have lot of unfinished things in life, that we may or may not have promised to some or to many but our only solution, to this is have a list down of what it is and to make a commitment to either do it in the upcoming months or if that’s not going to happen then we may decide to wipe out that thought forever, which will reduce our burden to manage things amidst busyness.

            I reiterate, amidst the world where earlier meeting people, face to face conversations, attending class room study was a matter of enriching life to its full is slowly fading away to virtual ways of living, it is our responsibility to stick back to limiting the ways of media over the week and also in the weekends and making to spend time on other things!

            Many a times, we maintain a To- do List thinking about what is our priority and we end up multi-tasking but virtually ending up in only finishing a limited tasks, but rather planning for a To- Achieve List of taking up only what’s necessarily for you, for example mails addressed directly to you to act immediately can help oneself to accept that there is time for everything.

            It’s the law of the land that there is 24 Hours in a day and we need to give up time for family and friend and also a matter of priority our health, we need to figure out organizing our responsibilities to understand that reflecting on our day still can be part of everyday life.

            Today is life—the only life you are sure of, why not spend on something not worth living for but rather looking up to look up on our achieve list and make life more happier! That what is was so far!
