Welcome back to another blog, Ms. Disa!
Since this is a personal one, I’d like to sincerely apologize for sending it late.
Regardless, let’s talk a little about time management. Time management was the first topic we covered in our class. We were given sheets of paper with different articles on time management, and it was quite interesting.
Personally, I think I’m someone who doesn’t necessarily have the best time management. If you look back, even during my early days of high school, I remember staying up late at 2 o’clock in the morning just to finish my homework because I prioritized things that weren’t necessarily important. At the time, I found them to be; looking back, I wish I had prioritized more meaningful things.
Frankly, the articles we were given—more specifically, the one I was reading—only touched on topics that I’ve heard about again and again. Although maybe it’s just a little different when you read it on paper or you’re asked to do it in class, it really struck me just how much my classmates and I need help with time management.
I remember that we were reading it for a while, and just as our eyes started to shut, it was time for discussion. This concept is relatively new to me, especially since we’ve never had this type of class before. We all went one by one, explaining what we thought about the articles we read, and to my surprise, I realized just how much time management was needed.
But not only that—it had to do with understanding ourselves a bit more. Just what exactly do we have an issue with? Is it only time management? Frankly, I really wasn’t feeling it that day, especially since my A-Level results were just about to be released. I was stressed, anxious, and everything in between. But when it was my turn to speak, I described to Miss just how much my problems were a big deal to me. I didn’t quite understand myself, but she told me to take a step back and realize that I am, in fact, quite a perfectionist.
Being a perfectionist is something that I’ve always hated to describe myself as. Ever since I would look on YouTube and people would say, "Oh, I’m a perfectionist because I’m an artist," it didn’t quite make sense to me. I thought, how could I be a perfectionist if I keep on doing things late and they end up not being of good quality? I just want to get things done. But after Miss’s comment, I soon realized where I had gone wrong.
Personally, I don’t really like the idea of labeling someone with a problem because sometimes you associate yourself too much with that issue. But what I kept in mind was that I really need to give myself some breaks that don’t involve scrolling on Instagram. I have to move myself and do things that make me happy.
These past few weeks have had so much to do with me accepting who I am—not just for the things I’ve been practicing, like my crafts, but more or less my problems and insecurities and how much I can change them to make myself a better or happier person.
I’m writing this now after my A-Level results were released, so it’s really safe for me to say just how much character development I had to go through these past few days. I think it’s about time I enjoy my life a little more and worry a little less about things that are out of my control.
That’s it for today’s entry. See you in the next one!
