It seems like the days are passing by quickly, right? It feels like just yesterday was Monday, but now it's already Thursday. Maybe it's because I have so much to do and I'm always busy with various things that I'm surprised when the weekend is already approaching.

Sometimes I want to stop the passing of days because I feel like there's not enough time to do everything I want. There are so many things I want to do that I can't fit into one day.
I have work that I need to do for others, work that I want to do for my side hustles, and things I want to do for enjoyment and personal growth.
Aside from these, there are also things that take up my time like interactions with friends and family, because it's not feasible to just work, work, work. On top of that, there are breaks and nap times when I get tired.
As long as I can stick to my schedule, I do. If I can speed things up, that's better. The problem is, of course, I get tired and sometimes fall asleep. I don't want to sleep, but that's what my body wants because my mind gets tired from thinking too much.
I don't want to be harsh on myself like others, who keep working even when they're tired, forcing themselves to finish things. After dawn, I do easy tasks, things that I can put off until tomorrow. But most of the time, I choose to relax in the afternoon because I don't want to get burned out and stressed. I believe that stress piles up and affects my work efficiency. Although time passes quickly and I want to fit everything I want to do into one day, I always keep in mind that my well-being comes first.
I don't want to chase time that I can't really catch. The time will come when I can continue what I left off yesterday.
Time is gold, but life is more valuable than gold.
