Living-by-the-minute

My life in last few days can easily be described as living-by-the-minute, literally. I am looking over at the clock over 100 times in a day, every day. There are numerous time-keeping devices around me when I made a note of it. The most frequent clock is the one on front face of my mobile, then there is the watch on my hand but I don't use it much, there is time shown in laptop (lower-right corner if you forgot), radio-clock at home, clock shown in TV (when you press status on remote) and wall clocks in the lecture rooms and Forum.

I find myself looking at one of these clocks very frequently, whatever I am doing - whether I am attending a lecture, bored or otherwise, whether I am watching TV, preparing reports, checking emails, partying with friends, sleeping (never without wake-up alarm), reading books etc. I just hope that I don't have to do SOME activities while looking over at the clock, otherwise my personal life will be over.

All this shows to me that I am always planning in my mind what to do next, when the current activity is getting over and when the next one is starting and what I need to do before that starts. I must say that I am normally not like this, but these are abnormal times - end of term exams, reports, immediately followed by the hurried Warehouse Simulation exercise. With the well-deserved break for Christmas and New Year I hope I can get some of the sanity back.
Wish you all Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.
