Diary Series, Thirteenth System – Infinity
Infinity is also describing endless. In this Diary Series, infinity we trying to explain here is the endless repetition of action. The repetition of how we live our life. We have infinite amount of days but we have finite amount of energy.
Imagine that this symbol of infinity is two perfect circle. One of the circle is day time clock and another is night time clock. Whatever we do in 24 hours everyday, consistently, build up the person we are today. This system allow us to realize how we spend our time and even build up discipline.
Another main purpose for this infinity system is for us to spend more time with ourselves. If we look at how much time we spend for our inner self, we will realize only the period during driving alone and bath. The rest of the time is dedicated to people and things around us. Working, socializing and etc. The reason to spend time with our inner self is a spiritual approach, to understand ourselves more.
24 hours are distributed fairly to every human being. Take out 8 hours of sleeping, 8 hours of working, 2 hours for meal, 1 hour for self cleaning, 1 hour of transit, 1 hour of social, and the rest for mobile devices or etc. Normal routine for normal life. If we want to change our life, start by changing a little of ourselves with discipline.
Now, let’s sketch the diagram by putting the clock inside. Hatch out the area where the period of time have to spend for sure which is consider as “activity of purposes”. Sleeping, eating, working, and etc shall under this categories. Refer to example of knight as below.
If we look at the routine of knight, during the transit period, he might just looking at the phone instead of doing some productive activity such as read a book. We should always look for this kind of time gap period where we distracted by devices, insert with productive activity.
Try to plug in your daily routine activities and see which part of your do spend wisely for high productive outcome. Hatch the period that you will not able to change like the basic biological activities to keep us alive (sleeping, eating, rest). At this moment, we can see that how little time we do have for ourselves!
We will realize that most of the time we spend are for the outcome of both and third party. When is the last time we communicate with ourselves? Thus, in Diary Series, we suggest that spend a short amount of time to communicate within us. Ask and answer in our mind, the 5W1H system. To understand ourselves more. Just like meditation and yoga.
Do you want to live you life with the same routine like a robot? Remember this is an infinity system, it is an endless process. The time you invest it creates the lifestyle you living. Use this as a tool to figure and define yourself, to to gain self discipline as well.
