Too Early for Quarter Life Crisis

Every Sunday ever since January, I sit down with my planner and write down my Big Rocks for the week. I learned this thing with my 7 Habits training at work, what they recommend for time management: figure out the roles that I have the play for the week, month or a specific period and then write down things to do for those roles and plot them within the week. Those things would come in first, and other things will squeeze in between those.

Now I’ve managed to follow that thing quite closely, and I feel my week is incomplete without setting my Big Rocks.

However, lately, I realized that the Big Rocks I’ve been setting are always limited to the period that it was made — for the week. And lately, I never really realized how much my Big Rocks are every week. By how much, I mean how little. It’s like…my life is “planned” weekly, and there were no big goals accomplished every week. It’s almost always the same — submit weekly reports, pay bills, etc, etc. It’s all the same…and frankly, it’s monotonous.

So today I was thinking, what the heck do I want to do for this year? I mean, last year I had Sydney, the other year I had the job hunt. This year…what? What big thing am I willing to take a risk for? Where am I going?

Is this what quarter-life crisis feels like?

But I’m not even 25! *headdesk*

Talk about feeling totally inadequate all of a sudden.

…there’s more, but I’ll reserve it for the next post.
