It's called time management

Studying..

Working..

Two different worlds.

After two months working, I still find myself dwelling over my student life. It's not like I'm not over it, but life seems so simple back then. hmm.. maybe simple is not the right word to describe my student life. Should I say amazing? Even when it's boring, my friends and 1 somehow find things to make our lives interesting.

Working life, on the other hand, seems more complicated. I think by far, this week has been most challenging. I have been working for two months, and yet, I face new challenges everyday. every single day. Especially this week. There was never a day that went by without a problem to be solved. Gosh. Lots of problems. But so little time to solve. And you need to solve it straight away. there and then. And the patient is just right in front of you. So how? 

You see, working, you get tested all the time. every moment is precious. and working in a private hospital means working in a fast pace, but at the same time maintaining a high level of accuracy and efficiency.

Tough.

So, in the midst of all the stress at work, I'm still glad that I have my family and friends to go to and rant about the problems I face. And somehow, it makes everything better. Everything seems to be OK and suddenly you realise, work is work. when you need to spend quality time with your loved ones, leave all your work-related problems behind. Maybe rant once. and then move on.

So, for those of you who seem to not have time for anything else other than work, think again. you need that quality time with your loved ones. make some time for them. I know for those who work more than 10 hours a day, this seems impossible. but at some point, you have to realise, work is work, and you have to have a life too. so take an hour or two out of your weekend and go meet up with some friends or family members. I personally believe, a good work-social life balance could improve your mood at work, hence increasing your work efficiency. I know exhaustion is an excuse to ignore your social life, but seriously, from my own experience, friends and family help to lift the burden off your shoulder. just by talking to them, really. or maybe a good laugh too.
