I got to sleep, and breathe

In one sentence:
I fail at time (and commitment) management terribly (Promised myself to write a new blog post every day, and this is one after an entire week)
As soon as my mom(and the alarm clock) forcibly wakes me up at 5:50 in the morning on a week day, I am slow at the beginning wasting whole 20 minutes brushing my teeth and then I realize I need to accelerate. Then the picture of missing the daily morning Mumbai local train to college comes in front of my eyes, when I miss it, I have to run (practically run) for the other train, dangerously crossing the tracks on Virar station, with my heart pounding and my lungs demanding more air, still determined to get to the I'st class coach. I start thinking where the time can be saved, even if its a minute, saving it becomes worth a lot. Eating breakfast before leaving has to be completed in less than five minutes, it can be reduced even more if I eat half of it. Reaching for a rikshaw now has to be a sprint run as I cannot afford to run about 200 meters for the train. Something, somewhere is wrong. Not just wrong, but ridiculously wrong.

I got to breathe.

It's not that I don't love going to college, I do, I enjoy the journey, the lectures (YES, I like attending lectures, unlike most others!). The only thing I do not like is giving up my sleep. Because of my poor time management skills, I only get to sleep for around 6 hours a day. I had read somewhere that sleeping less than 7-8 hours per day for long periods of time makes your brain work like that of a drunk person, with above the alcohol limit levels. Which means, every day at college, my brain is of a drunk person, giving worst performance I ever can. I feel like someone gifted me the greatest gift if I get to close my eyes for a mere five minutes at around 2 PM in the classroom.

Others see a walking dead in the classroom, every day.

Not just the morning routine, but the day to day activities like completing assignments,  doing my homework, studying for the test, eating, getting back to bed to sleep, all follow a similar pattern. Every day, I try my best to sleep as early as possible, and end up sleeping around midnight.

The above is my daily story and also that of an average office worker who hates his job  :(

The only difference with me is that I do not hate my work, I love Computer Science, programming, attending college and the lectures.

I need to plan my daily routine, which tasks to complete, when to complete them, their deadlines, what is to be done when I miss a deadline and make sure that I do not assign more tasks to myself than I can handle.

I do not want to stay a lazy, unorganized, average human anymore!
Someone needs to learn eating the candies completely, and on time.
