Inefficiency · Monday January 9, 2006
I had planned several to-dos for this weekend, but I didn’t really accomplish all that I would have wanted to. At least I did my laundry (because I nearly had to) but that’s about the only reasonable thing I’ve done this weekend. Well, I also installed a couple of USB ports to my computer, but still…
You begin to wonder if it’s your fault after all or should we blame the society that sets us those achievement pressures. Because nowadays everything is up to your achievements and results, there is no need to be formally competent any longer. What I’m trying to say that someone could know how to take care of the job, but if he/she can’t do it cost-effectively, then he/she is no good. Efficiency is the word of today.
Is it right that we have all that undone work in our subconscious mind causing us more stress? Or does it all depend on our way of thinking and attitude? Can we avoid stress by changing the perspective at work that’s waiting to be done?
On the other hand, is stress always a bad thing? Tight schedules and rush can sometimes make us do things effectively – even more effectively than without stress. I’m sure that on the long run stress isn’t healthy, but I believe that it is sometimes needed to get the best result.
P.S. I must admit that this thought was mostly on my mind last night, when I felt a bit stressed-out. Today I have been able to accomplish some things, so I don’t feel so flabby anymore. Every day is different.
