modus operandi

Its been a long day! This is the phrase being used by me almost everyday in recent years. It makes me wonder where did all my hours of the day run by - is it hidden inside the clock or is it just that God stingily created 24hours a day so at least in this way to make the humankind work hard within a day? In any case, God didn't do any kind of fondness or partiality to any particular sect of life forms in the universe. Thankfully, he has afforded everyone to spend luxuriously 24hrs a day. It lies down with the individual how luxuriously to deplete them. I just ran down my simple maths to check how I consume my day.

Here are my number of hours from Monday to Friday excluding the weekends. Weekends are meant only for shopping :)

Total Number of weekdays - 5 days
Number of hours for a day - 24hrs
Total number of hours = 5 * 24 = 120hrs
Number of hours spent for office work each day which includes bathing, commute & at office = 12hrs
Total number of hours for office related work = 5 * 12 = 60hrs
Number of hours consumed in sleep each day = 9hrs
Total number of hours spend just in sleeping = 5 * 9 = 45hrs
Number of hours spent in cooking & eating each day = 2hrs
Total number of hours spend in cooking = 5 * 2 = 10hrs
Total number of hours remaining in my work week = 120 - 60 - 45 - 10 = 5hrs

Holy cow!! its just 5hrs.....this means left with just an hour end of each day. Now, this puts me under lots of pressure, how to invest this so-to-be very precious hour - Do I need to relax & watch some favorite soap operas on TV or do I need to take this as a quality time to spend with the family or should I keep thinking how to spend this hour or should I use it up on my self-grooming.The list goes on. Hmmmm....I guess I ran out of this hour for today as I already used it up on this blog :)

The only solution is to cut down the hours from the other categories listed above & hence redistribute to what I wanted do which is the actual hardest part of my life. Finally, what I want to say is that I am caught in this rat race & this has become my conventional life style.

I am sure I want to change this routine and I believe in the saying that change is the only constant in world. Let me explore and experiment with either new or existing strategies to have a better and happy life. I will certainly share those tips after I am done with my research in my future blogs. Self-Control is the mastery achieved only through rigorous will power. This is inherently recursive!
