Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…
Me opening my laptop to see this prompt while,
there are Instagram reels going on my phone,
there is a Bluetooth speaker playing music,
and there hangs around my neck my OnePlus bullets playing the e-book in my ear,
as I switch all of them off but the laptop,
staring at this prompt sparking a need to unplug literally,
also figuratively…
As soon I turned off all these devices,
a noise of sort runs all along,
And,
it feels like this mind is going to explode,
but,
as soon as i turn on the soft music it goes away,
maybe I’ve become dependent on this,
my mind wants something to play in the background to function properly…
Also,
about the detachment from the work life,
has become a real problem in this world,
where more and more managers or those sitting at top tier,
need the workers to work hard,
harder,
longer hours to match their expectations,
and when something goes wrong,
it’s ultimately their(Workers) blame…
Having been on both sides of the said problem,
it’s known that excessive pressures leads to faults
and,
longer hours make them burn off quicker than they can recover from it,
for someone who just got out of a university knowing how to get the work done isn’t aware of it…
How one is supposed to recover from the last days work,
pressures and stresses,
but,
someone who has never spent even a single day working is unknown to the toll it takes on the body,
so,
it feels like barking up the wrong tree..
So,
it’s just that you have to take things on your own hand and provide adequate,
evidence the fall in work quality and the overall tiredness,
that people go through,
which in turn can be regulated by forming unions,
which demand equal pay for the excessive hard work that people put in,
its a slippery slope as the workers morale drops,
which in turn makes the organization crumble…
It’s of absolute necessity that,
there are things that are understood by all,
a need to be free from the constant pressures,
or things that keep you engaged in continuously,
form a dependence on that,
also,
on being constantly under pressure can make you dependent on it too,
if there is none chaos follows there too,
SO,
a need to detach from things that keep us engaged is absolutely necessary,
like being away from devices for having peace of mind,
taking up exercise to make the best out of the time that we keep for ourselves,
doing breathing exercises,
using the days off properly (not working),
spending time with family and friends,
doing breathing exercises to shift the focus from your soul…
For those addicted to devices,
put a lock on the number of hours you can surf one app, which you spend most of your time on,
like I’ve put up a screen time of half an hour for Instagram,
and after that I’m locked out for the day,
convenient yet frustrating,
but,
that’s how I’ll learn…
Happy weekend to those who are celebrating..
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
keyboard keys clacks,
and the sound echoes in the big hall,
that is now empty…
As the vision deters,
a face appears out of nowhere,
telling me to focus on work and keep my head down,
glued to the work that,
i have to finish…
after a while as my eyes start to give up,
a need to was my eyes,
a bottle of eye drops is brought to me,
which i put in them and start my work…
As i am about to finish,
another email reminder pops up,
for the presentation that’s supposed to happen tomorrow,
no,
it’s supposed to happen today,
as I look at the watch,
timer stuck 1 in the morning,
as a notification pops up,
“Go to sleep”
bringing me a chuckle…
An eye is raised,
as I go back to work…
“A dreadful life”
Waakiye
