Okay tomorrow I will start managing my time and get my life back on track. First things first, I’ll need to set my alarm at six in the morning. Nah that’s too early, eight is good. And if I sleep now, that will be nine hours of sleep. That will be plenty of resting before I wake up and have a productive day, which will lead to a productive life. No more wasting time. Okay alarm is set, lights are off, now closing my eyes. But wait, it’s too early, lemme watch one episode. Maybe two.
Oh no, how is it two a.m. already? I better sleep. Okay my eyes are closed. Come on brain, do your thing, make me fall asleep. Ugh why is the pillow like this? Why does the bed feel like it’s made of bricks? Whoa, is it three o’clock already?
FUCKKK why haven’t I heard any of my alarms! Shit shit shit! I rush out of bed. All my plans are ruined, how can I start a productive day at eleven! Calm down, you’ll be fine. I first jump in the shower and half an hour later I’m back in my bedroom. Okay, time to manage my time. But I can’t do anything on an empty stomach, so breakfast is a must. I go to the kitchen, make myself scrambled egg, mash half an avocado, and pour a glass of orange juice. I take my time since I like anything related to food. I scroll on my phone while eating and completely forget about everything. It’s well after midday when I’m done and leave this mess in the kitchen. I’ll get back to it later.
I grab my planner and my favorite pen to write down my tasks for the day. But I can’t do it like this, I need coffee. I go to the kitchen, I realize I’m out of coffee. Well, I guess I should go grab a cup of frappe. I go back to my room, change, and walk to the market. After buying what I need, I go to the nearest coffee shop. On my way home, I head to the park, sit on a bench, and enjoy the view. I check the time and realize why I’m out in the first place.
By the time I’m home, I have already finished my drink. I feel tired, so I go and rest on the sofa. Whoa, what happened? Did I fall asleep? I check my phone, it’s around four p.m. I can hear my stomach asking for food. I ordered some food. While waiting, I made my bed and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Food is here. I turn the TV on, because food and TV shows are the best combination. I watch a few episodes back to back. By the time I get off the sofa, it’s already dark.
I clean up my mess, and go lay down and scroll on my phone. After a long time, I see the planner staring at me on my desk. Why am I so useless? Why am I so lazy? I just lost another day. And tomorrow is a working day, there’s no way I’ll have the energy to manage my time and be productive.
