More productive, conscious and mindful way of living challenge
It all started with a growing frustration over my idle
habits and a desire to become a better person. To be better tomorrow than I was
yesterday, a week ago, or one year ago. “Better” is rather arrogant word but it
sort of summarizes all the points I am going to mention further, so I will use
it for now.
I should probably start by describing my personality. An
irrational 32-year old with an attention span of a monkey and a 1GB system
memory in the era of 32GBs growing like mushrooms after the rain, I am one of
those people who try to open their apartment door with their car keys, arrive
at the airport at 12 am instead of 12 pm, stop in the middle of the road and
then realize they ran out of gas... I forget things, confuse things and never
finish things.
My imagination, on the contrary, rarely fails and during the
course of a day I can live multiple exciting life scenarios in my imaginary
world, where I am either an artist, or a musician, or a writer; where I travel the
world and make a difference; where I succeed at any ventures. In reality, I
hardly accomplish anything, jumping from one thing to another, being constantly
late, procrastinating profusely and never keep up with my routine. My lists of to do things and resolutions are endless, hardly ever getting fulfilled. Why?
Dreaming is fun and easy. Doing and accomplishing is hard, tedious and often
frightening.
