Have you ever seen your desktop full of post its like my photo above? Well, I had it exaggerated but some days, I really need to organize all my post its just to be able to see what I need to prioritize during the day. I can’t work without a list or a post-it. I also don’t feel comfortable working without jotting down my ideas and to-do-lists. So to answer Nuffnang’s question : What skill would I like to unlock and why? Definitely to never forget any detail.
They said when you deliver your babies through CS, you’ll have this some kind of amnesia or memory problem. Well, both of my daughters were born through CS. I guess, all those anesthesia chipped a part of my brain that’s why it’s so easy for me to forget. However, I doubt that too because I can still remember important details that I need whenever I want to. I guess it’s really when there’s too much work to do and I am already overwhelmed then I tend to forget the things I am supposed to do.
I remember this one time, when my daughter had so many activities at school, assignments and projects, I was trying to find my daughter’s scrunchie to fix her hair. We couldn’t find it and I began to get mad at her, nagging her for being irresponsible for her things. It was very early in the morning and so my daughter got offended and then when she was about to cry, she told me, “Si Mommy oh, suot mo kaya yung scrunchie ko!”. I never thought I could be that forgetful!
Being a mom is a daunting task, when you don’t have a maid to help you with household chores, then you work at home for a living. But being a mom will always be fulfilling no matter how tough it gets. I realize that most of the time, what we really need is just to allow ourselves to have a break after several hours of working. Have a break to regain the energy and boost the memory.
