One Month to Live - Day 3

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

1. Keep a journal this week, and jot down how you spend each day. Try to rate your productivity (what you accomplish) along with your contentment (how you experienced each day). How would you rate the cost-effectiveness of how you invested your time?
(Journal - in the purple book.)
I have not yet accomplished much lately, especially now that I don't work. I often times wake up without knowing what to do for the day. But now, I have a goal I have to fulfill this month... the SAS examination! So, may God help me to be effective to use my time and to live to the fullest.
Also, I should call my parents more frequently. I haven't been talking much to them since last year. But there are things that I try to keep myself focus on right now. Please forgive me, Mom and Dad. I always pray for you both everyday.

2. What was the biggest time waster in your past week? What was the payoff for you? Did it distract you, entertain you, allow you to avoid someone? Is there a way to use the time differently and have a greater, more significant impact? Maybe you need to watch less television, and to read more, or perhaps instead of surfing the Internet, you could go for a walk or get some other exercise. Come up with a short list of alternate activities you can pursue the next time you're tempted to waste time by default.
Biggest time waster : FACEBOOK! Thinking too much about other stuff (people, love, etc.)
The payoff: distraction to do what I aim for the day.
Way to use time differently: go to my brother's house to focus more in studying.
Alternative activities: meditate, memorize Bible verse, and pray. Taking a walk outside. Watch a short movie.

3. How would you describe your current season of life? Does it feel like you're buried beneath frozen tundra, emotionally hibernating? Or is it more like spring, with signs of new life in view? What does it mean for you to accept and honor your current season?
Current season of life: emotionally hibernating. Tend to criticize people a lot, and be so negative about myself... :(
To accept and honor my current season: Try to smile all the time. SMILE is the simplest blessing you can give to yourself and others. And it helps you to see the brighter side of the world.
