Allocating time for myself.

For the past two days, I couldn’t really get to sleep well. Even during my sleep, I was thinking about the web marketing proposals I am yet to write, and the websites I need to put up.

Yesterday, I “slept” at 9pm, thinking I can get a good rest by resting early. I woke up at 2am, feeling so restless… After walking about for a while at home, I finally laid down back to sleep. I was awake again at 8am, not feeling any better. While my parents went for breakfast, I went back to sleep again until 11am when I was awakened by dad’s music.

I still didn’t feel better after that 14 hours of sleep.

So for most part of today, my head was spinning and I wasn’t in any mood to get any work done. I made use of the time to reorganize my room, throwing away tonnes of magazines which I used to keep. I’ve also put all my N21 stuff into a box and kept it right at the corner of the room.

Not going to touch that material for some time anyway.

It was good that my buddy Jones texted to ask me out for a lazy sunday breather at Tampines. I went. It was a relaxing yet fun time catching up with the guys, and finally, I’m back home.

I feel so much better now.

It feels good to take my mind off business for a while, to enjoy a good coffee with close friends, chatting over anything that comes into our minds.

I realise I’ve been so devoid of entertainment and relaxation for the past weeks, and the stress piles up. I realise many people have high expectations of me, and that is pressurizing. I realise I have responsiblities as a business owner, as a son, a fiance, as a business partner… and it is so easy to be consumed in these responsiblities that it literally takes away my life.

I really need to allocate time for myself, to go take a walk along the beach by myself, to enjoy the breeze, and not think about anything.
