Keeping Time
Ever since I joined the working world, I have been trying to strike a balance in my life. Time flies by so fast, and you realize that half of your yearly To Do List items were not actualized. Instead, the List gets longer by the year.
An effort to give value to my almost non-existent work-life balance, I have decided to be disciplined at least during Fasting month (Ramadhan). It’s a start. I plan to come in to the office early after sahur (pre-dawn breakfast) i.e. 6.30am and leave the latest at 6.30pm. Of course, I will strive to leave as early as 5.30pm but we all know that is never possible, especially where I am working. Even so, I am determined to make it happen.
This means disseminating e-mails to colleagues on my Ramadhan working hours. Haha.
Wish me all the best!
Living alone during Fasting month will be a challenge. During my student days, at least I had roomies. We would wake each other up and have our pre-dawn breakfast together as a unit. Now, it is just me, myself and Asma. To prepare, I bought a whole set of ‘instant-meals’. Frozen pizza, lasagna, chicken soup, hotdogs, cereal, crackers, etc. They’re not healthy but it serves the purpose of feeding ONE person.
This should be interesting…
