So I have this problem of getting lost in the "future"... I daydream too much and am known to others as the idea guy...
This is very useful if I am paired with people of particular personalities... and I have found people who I could have symbiotic work relationship...
however, when I am playing solo, this becomes a huge problem for me...
And I hardly learn how this can be harmful for me till recently...
It was a fine day in December last year that I went off for long distance biking with my friends. Just about 2 to 3 hours in, I bumped into a parked motorbike on the shoulder of the highway. Yep, it was not supposed to be there but still I should be on the lookout. At the time of this incident, I was thinking of 3 different things at the same time. Out of these, I was wondering why my bike was making a repetitive tick sounds.
I got some large bruises but I was lucky to continue cycling for 3 more days. If I didn't have that luck, I would have to head back home and not be on this life-changing trip.
Hence, I learnt it is very important to focus on the present, enjoy the moment and get present things done.
Still, it is quite hard to change my behavior that is so wired in me. I am writing it down to remind me; both carrots and sticks to improve myself.
