#5 Define priorities

I am a really busy person, they say. Yes I love to fill my time with activities, it is just feel weird when I have a long spare time, I always have something to do.

But then, I had conversation with my bestfriend:

D: omg I have a full schedule today
W: of what? meetings again?
D: well ya, and also there are some other things i need to do
W: you're so busy lately
D: yes... there are so many things, and i can't leave it just like that. Others also say that i always gone lately. I think so too, i missed a lot of group hangout lately
W: you know, there's this thing you have to know. "When someone is busy, doesnt mean they do the important thing" and "sometimes you're too busy collecting stones and forget to collect the diamond"

Well It keeps resounding in my head, so am I in the right path? Am I collecting diamond? Or all the things i chase now are just stones?

I think that time make me realize and have a turning point. This is why:
1. There are so many things i have to do, and sometimes in the same time, while i can't divide myself to do it in the same time
2. I missed many moments with my friends
3. I come late because of the tight schedule and i have to be there
4. I stay up late a lot
5. Though i manage to attend those meetings or appoinments, sometimes i lack of focus because of the other job i need to do
6. Can't really focus in class or i often make my task second prioritized
7. Exhausted

So then, I start to prioritize things, I eliminate all the unnecessary things, i can't push myself beyond my limit. Well ofcourse, i still need yo get the things i signed now to be done, because i am responsible for it now, but for the future, i will be more organized.
