keep busy

i like to stay busy and keep on:

thinking loving moving believing. (with others)

I’ve been reading constantly, watching more TV, and talking to new, interesting people. Nonetheless, I still have a lot of free time on my hands. I feel like I never have time to do what I want, despite having way too much time. I suppose it’s like someone told me yesterday, “If you want something done, give it to the person who already has too much to do.” Meaning: someone who has nothing to do with get nothing done. I believe it. And for me to get anything done I need to work on a lot of things at once. I’ve been exploring new websites, opening up connections, and generally trying new things. Hopefully this will be keep me occupied. I’m optimistic, definitely. Just need to force myself to do things sometimes.

All that and I’m still waiting on a response to my job interview. I have to be really careful not to burn out – taking advantage of quiet time whenever possible -, but otherwise I’m loving my life right now. Hope it lasts.

Being a Melbourne Uni Summer School tutor for the past two weeks threw me into momentum. It just finished and I feel fantastic. The next two months should provide more than enough stimulation, what with working part-time and planning/executing my relocation to Sydney. I’m so excited!

I get depressed if I put off things and wallow about. I’m particularly susceptible during holidays. Having plans and doing my best to achieve almost everything I set out to do is the best way for me to stay sane and keep up my motivation. I just need to work a bit more on not getting frustrated if something gets in the way of my plans.

It’ll probably help with the weight-loss goal, too.

According to the online ebook at http://www.gethappy.net/bookhm.htm, keeping busy is a key to happiness. I’m usually the furthest thing from busy, so I can definitely improve on this.

I barely stop these days. I still need to get a bit more focus so I don’t keep myself busy with the wrong things, but it’s definitely a better way to be.

(Though I am really looking forward to a Quiet Night In later, you have no idea how much…)

As from next week I’ll have a job I’ll be a bit busier. The trick is to not relax too much and make sure I keep on track with all other projects (especially university).
