Lesson #6 - Do or Drop

This period has been CRAZY at work.
From a 4-person team to a 2-person team and a temporary 1-person team in a span of a couple of months during peak period. Not the best arrangement, but I survived!

Things will probably cont to be crazy till we leave for our shoot, but trough this period I think I've learnt 1 important thing.

When u think that you have TOO many things on hand, don't stop and procrastinate. When we feel overwhelmed at work, we tend to just stop and think about what what we should do. S'times, we forget to get started because we simply can't figure out where to start.

I've learnt to just get started and clear what ever I can, when I can. Procrastinating for that 15 mins may mean that I've wasted the time I could have used to clear my emails or craft an approval. 

And at the end of the day, I'm starting to learn to drop and go. There are just too many things on the list and I can cont working on them till the next day and the day aft if I don't learn to drop them and go at the right time. Workload will only increase as we progress. If we do not learn how to drop and go at appropriate time, how can we balance our time between work, self and family in the future?

And I'm thankful that I have pops to keep reminding me all this :) He has learnt the art of it and he has been very efficient in his work. I'm learning!
