WHAT I LEARNED TODAY or WILT, as I’ve chosen to label it, is a brand new category here at TEC. I got the inspiration from reading an article articulating that people should reduce their ‘wasted time’ by 120 minutes a week and then proceed to do new things & explore new areas with the additional 120 minutes that we now have in hand.
One idea was writing or blogging about the new things one learns on any given day!
Hence in line with the concept above, I was inspired to create the SNILT section right here in my blog.
Mind you WILT will not necessarily be relegated to newly gained knowledge only, but should also cater to new insights about my life – where and when said insight(s) do deign to be make themselves apparent.
So with both pairs of fingers crossed here we go with the TEC very first SNILT post!
Today I once more rediscover the perils of Temptation!
Seeing that temptation has its various forms and features, do let me be a little bit more specific on what exactly I mean by temptation – I wouldn’t want anyone to get the wrong idea! Temptation in the context of this post can be described as the alure of past habits that seem to be making a comeback.
First there’s the morning ritual of breakfast with the colleagues. I’ve previously avoided making any fixed morning breakfast rituals that I well knew would form itself into habit. I originally was able to function at my resposibilities without having to have anything heavier than a good old cup of Nescafe or Milo. Nowadays I find temptation abound in the form of munching one 1 or 2 piece of local breakfast delicacies in addition to the drink. This does not bode well indeed for my meal replacement diet scheme that I’m currently on.
Second on the list is the aluring temptation of the afternoon nap. Once again I originally do not partake of the ritual afternoon naps that are ever so prevelant. However when almost everyone nearby me ends up napping the subtle pressure of napping grows on me until I suddenly find myself cracking a yawn or two. Then I just got to take a short maybe-not-to-short nap of my own. Now I’m finding myself automatically succumbing to the drowsiness that creeps up ever so often after lunch.
Sigh. I’ve got to be more discipline in such matters and not succumb to temptation anymore!
