An experiment!

'I'm not a perfect person.
And I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you'
- The reason (Hoobastank)

A few days ago, I had engaged myself in an experiment. The subject of the experiment was me. I had given myself 10 days to complete all pending tasks, finish all piled up work and clear all deadlines.

Here are the results of the experiment:

1. As the 10 days deadline came closer, I had to work harder and harder to meet my original goal.
2. I felt I was almost there. It was a good feeling. And I probably was.. for a while!
3. I was tired after it was over and decided to chuck things for a while
4. Now there work pile up is even higher than it ever was.

Moral: This kind of thing must be done in a normal manner. Be wary of burnout.

Mail from a friend came at an appropriate time advising me to "balance out work and fun or get burnt out like its happening to young(er) people". I have decided to take the advise and when the evil boss (like the pointy-haired boss in Dilbert) spews fire next time, I'm gonna push AB into the firing range. What say, AB?
