‘Burning the midnight oil’

Its half past eleven and I am writing my blog now. Wanted to finish it before twelve so I could tell myself, I didn’t miss Monday. I write from Monday to Friday. I am rather busy these days so didn’t find time to write it after breakfast, as is my habit.

I find if I don’t write it in the morning, somehow it keeps getting delayed. Then the entropy sets in. One does not write for a couple of days, and one thinks, oh, now Ill start from next week. The next week becomes next month and so on.

It happens because it has happened twice with me after I started writing my daily blog. There were of course, things happening in my life but that was no excuse. I just became lazy. The law of entropy is that no matter how good a system is, it starts decaying if we don’t look after it diligently.

Our mind is always distracting us with pleasures of various kinds, entices us with gossip and seduces us with all the sensual attractions. Well, we are human beings and we should enjoy ourselves but if we loose sight of our real goal, if we give in to our carnal desires all the time, if we get enchanted by social media whole day, we are bound to loose our focus.

In fact, you will find that more successful people are not addicted to their phones; they don’t check their messages every ten minutes because they have a list of things to do. They use their phone only when absolutely necessary. It is people who don’t have something useful to do, get engrossed in Facebook and Twitter and Whatsapp.
