Everyday is a new day in terms of date, time, year and what not. But, what if the activities during the day remained the same as yesterday or if tomorrow repeats as today!! This is precisely what I am confused over or concerned about.
As a background; during school times, classes, assignments, projects, exams and papers took away most of the day and there was no strict manner in which things happened. It was all asynchronous. Take it with cooking food or chit-chat with roomies late in the night or watch movies at random too; there was no significane to being streamlined in what we were up to.
This unruly behavior changed with settling in a job (and this is just the beginning :)). A big picture can be explained as below.
For each Monday through Friday -
wake-up, brush, shower, cereals for breakfast,
drive 5 mins to work,
work 8+ hrs for the day with lunch,
drive back home in 5 mins,
cook, dinner, clean, floss, brush, browse, sleep,
Repeat for the next day.
Work seem to be the only variable part in the above loop which gets challenging or interesting or fascinating depending on what's going on; the rest being pretty monotonous. There are obviously a couple additions to the loop here & there during the week - phone calls back home or to friends or as today, by writing a blogpost. But, typically the above loop holds good almost always.
Wonder how our parents and other people we have known been in the same jobs for eons, doing the same task day to day, following a similar typical routine in life, are coping up!!? It seems like a Déjà vu to me. The reason I say it as Déjà vu is that, going with the above flow, I know what I am up to the following morning at 8:30 - either in the shower or having cereals and the very next thing is to drive to work, there can be no other possibility.
Solution: Looks like this is the reason we have weekends and a few holidays thrown into the equation to make use of them for some quality activities. It sometimes feels, making things a little complicated is worth; will probably get there. :D
Would like to add - there are many solutions here and I decoded a few only while I am writing these lines. So, the whole Déjà vu might not really be a problem, just that it needs to be overcome. :)
