I can admit, I am the type of person who gets trapped in my own head.
If you give me an pressing task to focus on I will completely lose track of the hours that passed by well I try to complete it.
Suddenly, I look up as well as realize that it’s night time as well as I do not know what happened to the past 10 hours. This is something that helps me a great deal when I have academic or employment commitments that need to be taken care of unquestionably suddenly, however, it is drastically destructive when I forget to take care of myself or other pressing areas of life because I am too occupied with my work. For instance, when my heating, cooling, as well as air quality control system is screaming for attention however I am too distracted with accomplishing work. This is exactly what happened last yearwhen I was working on a large project for my boss as well as my furnace suddenly failed. I had no idea that my boiler was in need of a professional repair appointment or inspection. It felt like my indoor air handling devices were working just fine, mostly because I wasn’t paying any attention to the fluctuating air rapidly changing temperatures all around me. I also did not notice when the boiler began making bad sounds in its continued efforts to manage the indoor air quality. Honestly, the only thing that shook me out of my hypnotic state was when the furnace stopped working altogether. The lack of background noise coming from the boiler suddenly jolted my brain back into reality… as well as I realized that my condo had been absolutely cold cold for numerous hours. Hopefully I hear the Heating, Ventilation & A/C tech when he shows up – I’d better not get back to my work until he comes as well as goes.
