Am I workaholic ??
| This is NOT how my daily office table looks like. Photographer in me changed objects, cleaned table, changed desktop background to make it look like well organized Doctoral Student. |
Last two days I have been suffering from throat infection. And was not able to concentrate fully on work. Well my day is starting so to say regularly 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM , I am mentally fresh but still I am not able to work fully. Reason : Well you need energetic body along with energetic mind to do some productive work. Yesterday, like 5 hours before I was totally down in the energy had my dinner soup in half sleep and was wishing to wake up at 6:00 or 8:00 AM. Then I slept at lets say 9:30 or 10 and in the night I woke up thinking that its regular wake up signal triggered by my brain. I checked the clock and it was 11:30 PM ... Waittt... Excuse me !! Now how the heck did that happen ? Body was NOT still in the mood of working though but mind was. It got motivated by reading extremely positive response from ExProf who is helping me now just because he is kind person. I decided to come office with with warmest possible cloths and planned to sleep if I was sleepy.
While planning this I was thinking of updating status on FB something like "Celebrating halloween my way in office at 12:00 Midnight.. Am I workaholic ? " Or " I just need to buy sleeping bag for myself which will make my status message 'Working from home ' and 'Working in office' technically the SAME. "
Since I couldn't converge on one, I thought of writing everything down detail in a my second iblogg. ;-)
If I give serious thought and be honest with myself then let me confess that this early morning hours is the period where I am most productive n creative. Am I using this time for research work ? Answer is NOOO big F**Knggggg NO.... :( So what do I do ? I consider myself The motivational speaker make loads of calls to India to my relatives, siblings, mom n dad, friends and share with them my experiences and ensure that they get positive energy from the discussion. It is NOT at all easy. You meet really adamant , dumb , self-underestimating, depressed, confused , introvert, extrovert people. I try to be a good friend with them first. Make them comfortable, make them realise that I want to help them and I do NOT have any personal interest whatsoever in their life.
And that does the trick, they start speaking and once they become open to you it is easier to motivate them for their good.
Do I need to do this ? well yes. But shall it be done at the cost of my research work ... ? HELLLL NOOO !! Otherwise I would have to search some sudhir who motivates me...
SO enough of blah blah let me get back to the work ... 1:14 AM, blogg writing finished. ;-)
