I Keep a Gratitude Journal

I wish one day I could find and do the job I like. I wish I could manage my time better so that I don't work overtime. I wish I had better discipline to stop working when office hours end, without worrying not able to finish next day. I wish I had a clearer mind before I speak and work, so that I don't say and do nonsense wasting effort.

Has it ever occurred to you that we might be stuck in a state of work that is abnormal? High pressure, huge volume of work, short deadlines, meeting KPIs (key performance indicators), competition, long hours, - these are the kind of things that exist in our work culture. I conclude that it has less to do with our time management and more with how things are in our external environment. And it does not help with our Asian mentality that we have to be a 有用的人 ( a useful, productive person). I think we're too driven, too practical, too competitive for our own good. And we forget we're human and we have our needs too.
