Long weekends are perfect for being productive. This Easter weekend has been such a welcome reprieve that I’ve been dying to catch up on some reading, writing, and watching films but I think I might have overbooked myself. I feel like I want to do a thousand and one things all at the same time! Now I’m just overwhelmed at the idea that it paralyzes me.
I want to speak Spanish fluently. I want to write. I want to earn more or, at the very least, comfortably so. I want to read a book each week. I want to see plays and films. I want to learn how to sketch. I want……oh boy, DO I WANT.
It seems like I want a lot of things but not enough resources (money- or time- or energy-wise) to be able to pull it off. I am scared to admit that perhaps I lack the willpower, the drive, the thing that makes people successful. I’ve been avoiding making that conclusion but, oh well, here am I.
However, it’s not so much as wanting but needing. I seem to be good at getting things done if they’re classified as a need rather than a want. Like, for example, needing to replenish my savings account I suddenly have this unexplainable (not anymore, I guess) urge to hibernate or become a hermit, therefore eliminating almost all forms of miscellaneous expenses.
Lately, however, even I can’t transition to being a hermit.
What do I do when even needing doesn’t work anymore?
