On Productivity

So obviously, I'm not the best blogger ever. I'd like to say my lack of updates stems from me living life to the fullest and having all these amazing experiences, but it's probably more due to my constant high stress level and having way too much on my plate.

However, the past few days I have found I am incredibly productive. This got me thinking: what has changed this week as opposed to others? First, Midas just had their last tournament of the quarter, so the pressure of planning all that goes into a tournament weekend is lifted. Second, I decided I wasn't going to practice this week. I have a huge presentation on Monday and will be gone this weekend, and genuinely feel like I can't keep giving up schoolwork for ultimate. As much as I miss running around, it's nice to not have something to do EVERY NIGHT. Third, I'm going to Trouble in Vegas with PlanEx this weekend, a trip I am very much looking forward to.

Yes, I still have a lot to be concerned with. I have a lot of schoolwork and this looming presentation is pretty overwhelming. I have a strained ligament in my hand. I am shirking my obligations to my team. I am dealing with our Club Sports office regarding a possible club sanction and $1200 fine. I haven't thought about my Conference Coordinating work in about a week. I have no money, and no job prospects for after graduation.

So many things could be considered wrong with my current situation, yet I am happy. And I believe that is the point: in Maya-land, happiness leads to productivity, and I'm gonna ride this train as long as it's chugging on.
