Sometimes in life you apply yourself to a specific endeavour for a really long time, forget about everything else during that process and more often than not your efforts will pay rich dividends. I have often claimed or try to tell myself that I am a efficient multi-tasker. I have often wondered if it was actually true or if I was just trying to be a multi-tasker, why? Because it seemed the right way to go about life. There are so many things to learn about, to understand, to even just know in this world and I thought I had to do as much as possible, know as much as possible, quickly.
There have been experiences that have told me otherwise and my experience today reinforced that fact. I attempted a German test today for which I prepared whole-heartedly for the past four days and I could see the results of that preparation from the ease with which I was able to attempt the questions. Of course, a lucky bout of viral cold (is that even a thing?) that forced me to take a day off that I could use to concentrate only on German. But, that is not important, most of my other example follow the same storyline. Of course, everyone knows that effort should be proportional to results and of course, I have gained experiences that have proved me otherwise. As I write this, I realise I talking in tangents which is usually not the way I make my blog posts. So, getting back to the point.
After today, I simply have to accept the fact that multi-tasking never works. If there was some way to nail concepts to your brain, I wish I can do that now. At the same time, I cannot simply avoid other work and concentrate only on a particular project. I have always known that I am someone who likes switching between projects and manage both at once. Maybe that switching should not be a hourly thing and it should be more of a daily thing. Okay, so this ends the completely pointless blogpost.
