My USD4,704.36 Loss | Skip the Routine and Start Working
Every morning, I have a routine of reading the newspaper headlines while enjoying a cup of coffee. After catching up on the news, I would check my to-do list and focus on the most important item. This routine helps me to ease into my day.
Lately I find myself procrastinating. Besides reading the news, I search YouTube videos for background music that "helps" me to concentrate. My search can anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes. Including the morning news, YouTube search, I would have spent at least 20 minutes idling in front of the computer. Throughout the day, I would get distracted by many more things.
Two days back, I do not know what came over me. I slapped myself as I scroll through YouTube, yelled at myself to start work now. I dared not to stop until the scheduled breaktime. The last two days, I start my day without any routines, and I do not miss it.
I am in desperate times, as I am now fighting for my family's survivor and finances. I do not have the privilege to enjoy a routine. As long as I am breathing, my focus is putting food on the table and support the family.
I still have not told my family about my losses. This Christmas will be lean....
