Romance between Time and Priority.... an impending marriage!

It has been almost 2 years since I blogged. What have I been doing? It is not like I don't have time at all! ... Well, truth be told, I don't know why I didn't blog. But, I choose to write now....... 

I am working on an Independent research project. Funny thing happened this semester, which made to 
write this blog. Here is the gist: I handpick people I work with: they have to be creative, good in research, and must be capable of leading... and definitely resilient to see through a task/project. 

I picked a fellow graduate student and asked him whether he could work with me on a semester research? Let me call him Mr. X (I have worked with him before). Mr.X mentioned, "Yes, I would love to". And after three months (entire semester) of no voluntary communication from his end, and after my repeated warning regarding his lack of commitment and contribution, I emailed my Mentor to remove Mr. X from the Project. Not only I get the extreme fun (partial sarcasm) of doing this huge research myself, but also I get to do it within 15 days!!! 

 Now, to the fun part. After I sent the email, I choose to write this blog (which I have not bothered to write in nearly 2 years)... As I am writing this blog, I am wondering how fascinating it will be if I marry Time and Priority?? Never thought about it until this moment.

Our life, My life as I see it and live it, is filled with numerous tasks... Seriously? how hard can it be? : Simple solution: PRIORITIZE! 
                                                   NO IT IS NOT SIMPLE. 

In a world filled with distractions, marriage between time and priority, if not planned properly, will end up in a chaotic divorce... Well, now let me get back to my research. My next blog will focus on how to plan a wedding between Time and Priority? As soon as I think/draft a plan, I will share it in this blog ;)
