Own Productivity

September 25, 2017Yoshiko Free Verse, Poetry 10 Comments

Tick and delete
Completed task
Two more tasks pop up

Happen again and again
Continuum process of my life
Endless vicious cycle

Overwhelmed
Discouraged
Burnt out

self-awareness arouse
Self-doubt arise
Self-esteem lower

Lower self-confidence
Frustration knocks
“Give up” echoes

Question myself
Am I the problem?
Why is my productivity level low?

I have reading books about productivity and taking notes. Buy the books and borrow it too. However, I feel so stuck. Instead of of focusing on my creative work, piles of work enters. It is regarding to the job I need to focus and other people’s help. Wish you all have good days and thank you.

Era

September 21, 2014Yoshiko Poetry, Rhyme / Rhythm 9 Comments

Now is the
Era of machines
Era or technologies

Normal phone
Transform into
A smart phone

Normal television
Transform into
Internet television

Manual labours
Transform into
Robotic labours

Multiple office responsibilities
Are entrusted to
Fewer employees

Strong moral values
Decline into
Low moral values

Strong mentality
Decline into
Weak mentality

Who is in charge?
Technology dictates human?
Human is in control of technology?
Who is the slave?
Do inner core values or physical attributes reigns?
Decrease in employment rate?
Who will we account to at the end of our lives?

Disrupt

September 16, 2014Yoshiko Poetry, Rhyme / Rhythm 14 Comments

Miscellaneous tasks
Work, family and work
Seeds of ideas are birthing

Endless piling jobs
Repetitive tasks
Birthing ideas are boiling

Thus
All these
Disrupt creative flow

Thus
Exhaustion
Overwhelmed

Mental and physical fatigue
Sip into my inner core
Leech my cheerfulness in life

All the projects I received, I do at home. Noises at home are endless. Tasks at home are piling. The job from the client often gives tight deadlines – either submit by night or next morning. Recently, I feel burnt out and depressed. Upon reference, I do personality test. ISFJ is the result from answering the questions. All the explanation reflects true of myself. No wonder I flourish with given long timeline but overwhelmed with tight deadline and sudden changes. Glad to vent out my frustrations. Wish you all have good days and thank you for all your time to read my poetry.

Lazy Cat & Worm

December 30, 2013Yoshiko Poetry, Rhyme / Rhythm, Simile 2 Comments

High piling tasks to complete
Someone relaxes without lifting hands
Enjoying giving out commands
For me to do
To do this
To do that
To search this
To search that

Such a simple tasks
Doesn’t bother to lift hands
Always on bed
Cluttering the place
Messing the tidy place
Lazes on bed
Like a lazy worm
Lazy like the cat
Sleeping two thirds of the day
Am I a slave without break?
All tasks seem endless

Plan Schedule

Plan. Plan. Plan.
Jotting down words
Typing down words
Words of planning
Planning a daily schedule
Planning a monthly schedule
Planning a yearly schedule
Planning tasks schedule
Planning blogging schedule

Plan. Plan. Plan.
Planning rest schedule?
Planning retreat schedule?
How do you plan your schedule?

According to my observation, people have the tendency to plan schedule. Some upload it and share. Some would keep it. Many times I wonder and wonder. How do bloggers plan their blogging schedule and blogging duration?
