Rushing Them To A Complete Big Mess

"Hurry up"
"You gotta finish that already"
"Aren't you done yet?"
"What's taking so long?"


Rushing people might be easy for you to do but you being the one being rushed doesn't feel great, does it? Once you rush people,it causes them to stress over the things they are doing, thus, leaving them to mess things up. Imagine following a dotted line with a marker and you gotta be careful but someone wants you to do it faster, will you mess up or not? Or imagine going to the grocery with a list your mom gave you but you only had 15 minutes to do it, will you get the exact groceries needed? I think not.
If we rush them, then it wouldn't be good for them, would it? It will most likely lead them to thinking that they'll just stop on whatever they're doing and go to you even though the work's not finished, or worse, go to you with their work completely messed up. You can't escape this, you're not rushing them to submit before the deadline, but you are rushing them to a complete big mess. (Things that were given enough time for submission is excluded because it could have been done earlier.)

Time is indeed gold, but to be honest, no one can race through it. If you don't want to fuss, then think ahead. Make a schedule. Measure the time needed to do this and that. Alert people at an early time, not when the deadline is after 24- to 48 hours.

We can do things well if we're relaxed, correct? If we are free from deadlines, then there's no stress, and we can actually do more productive things after. We can have finishing touches instead of just saying "Oh well, what the heck. I'll just have to bear with this." Agree or disagree?

Racing time is all that we've been doing all our lives and that's just adding up to our stress. What to do to escape this?

Go back to the 2nd paragraph.

Make a schedule. Without a schedule, then how can you balance all the things that you have to do? Having a schedule will save you a lot of time and not waste your time in thinking what you're supposed to do next.

Make a list. A list of all things needed to be bought or to be done. Keep them in places where you can notice them right away like beside your car keys or stick them on your fridge.

Notify people earlier so you won't have to rush them. It won't be your fault if you have given them enough time to get ready.

AND

Don't rush people or avoid getting rushed. This will affect both of the person involved. It will mess up your schedule and cost you a lot of your time. You can forget important things because of this. Sometimes, when you push your brain to remember more things, then it will cause more damage, thus, giving you more headaches. And the people affected will experience the same thing too.

Make every second count. No rush, no problem. More time, more freedom.

Ruined.

We all have these moments when we tell ourselves that our life's ruined. It might be because of a book, a movie, series, talk shows, or anything that we sank our hearts and feelings into. And it just happened to me...AGAIN. Here I am typing in my blog at 3am because I just paused a series that I am watching, I didn't just pause it, I closed that VLC media player and heaved out a stressed laugh because that series was ruining my life. I know that we all got disappointed from the wrong decisions that our favourite characters make and how impeccable their bad timing is, but maybe that's what's making the story more interesting. What if our life's a movie and people have been watching it? What if they get the same reaction we do when we get depressed, sad, or even happy with whatever the main character does? What if the voices in our head are actually the voices of the people watching over our life story? I have thought about that too, it sounds interesting but it...

Hello College, Goodbye High School

April 4, 2014, the day when we finally graduated. It seems like it was only yesterday when we first stepped into our classroom. Days do go by fast, huh? While our graduation song was playing in the background, almost all of us couldn't sing because we were already crying. Parents and guardians were in front of us and after singing our song, we gave them roses and that's when all of us broke into crying. To be honest, I have seen the most beautiful moment I could have seen in my entire life. Everyone was smiling with tears in their eyes and everyone was hugging one another. Even our teachers were teary-eyed. We all said our thanks and apologized to the ones that we've hurt. Our past teachers came, too. Nothing could have been better than that. Today I woke up and realized that I can never study to our school ever again. I won't see the same faces that I have seen everyday in that school. And that school's name is Conperey. Then I also realized that I won't s...

Being Blind

Most of them say that being blind is hard. You wouldn't know where you are, you wouldn't know what's the color of this and that, you would't know how amazing earth is, you'll see nothing but darkness... But being blind doesn't mean you don't have any chances of living the good life in this world. You have the ears to listen, the nose to smell, the mouth to speak, and the skin to feel, and maybe, just maybe, that could be enough. You can listen to nature surrounding you. The rushing of the river, the chirping of the birds... You can smell what you're cooking and make it a perfect dish because you can smell the bad ones from the good ones... You can speak up your mind and also ask people for assistance because you can't really see them but you know they are there... And you have the skin to feel the wind sweeping on your face, the gentle touch of a person guiding you, the softness and roughness of things, and that's already enoug...
