SEC-S13W5 – While you wait...
Greetings everyone, I welcome you to my entry for this week's Steemit Engagement Challenge, S13 from this amiable community with to topic "While you wait...".
Do you consider that all time should be productive? |
|---|
I am someone who loves productivity, also I see it important to find a balance between work and leisure. As much as being productive helps move someone towards achieving their goals in life, I also believe it is important for us to create time for rest, and relaxation, and to enjoy other activities that bring us joy. After all, we are told that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, isn't he?
This means that if we continue to run after productivity without finding rest and allowing our bodies to re-energize, then we will burn out and decline in well-being. Hence, we need to find time to relax so that we can be productive when needed.
What do you think of John Lennon's phrase: "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans"? |
|---|
I would say John Lennon is indeed a wise man to have shared these words of wisdom with us. I'm a lover of this quote as It serves as a reminder that sometimes we get caught up while making plans and running after our dreams, and we forget to appreciate the moments in front of us.
Life is not always under our control, this is what he meant, that's why when we're focused on the future, we end up missing out on the moments right in front of us.
What do you do in everyday situations where you have to wait, a traffic jam, electricity and/or internet interruptions, etc? |
|---|
Every day is not the same, therefore the situation in which I find myself will determine what I get to do, but in most cases, it is just the basic things like reading a book, playing a game or having family time that I get to do.
If I'm in a traffic jam, I'll bring out a book and read or in some cases my phone to play games like Scrabble or word puzzles as I love board games that involve using my cognitive senses. Electricity failure on the other hand is becoming a popular thing in this part of Nigeria that I don't even see as an unplanned situation again.
Have you decided to have an attitude towards life while you wait, or do you only think about goals to achieve? |
|---|
What's the point of thinking of things that are not in my control? Life is never in anyone's control, we can only plan while life happens at the end. However, even as life is bound to happen to anyone, and at any time, we should remember that he who fails to plan is said to have planned to fail.
Therefore, there's no need to overthink the happenings of life, I was in that position back in 2020 during the Covid era, and I ended up being depressed for a long time. It was at that moment I learned that is okay to plan and fail, it is not the end.
I wish to invite @anasuleidy, @ninapenda, @ruthjoe, and @suboohi

Thank you friend for your kind words. I believe we all learnt something valuable from the Covid period. Like you've said right, we often plan just the future that we forget to plan the now.

Greetings friend, thank you for this kind words. Truly productivity is a very important element to anyone's life, but we also need to make time for relaxation and fun, this is because our body that does the work need to regain lost energy so we can function proper.
Therefore, we need to feed the body that helps bring about productivity in us. Thank you once again brother.
Sama-sama saudara, semoga kita terus sukses.
It's important to set aside time for rest and recreation as well. A balance between productivity and time for yourself can support overall well-being.
True, if we hit the accelerator head one with a few minutes to rest and rejuvenate before we get going again, we'll breakdown which becomes a problem in our path, therefore it is very important for us to balance productivity with leisure. Thank you
