After a busier summer than ever, I often think about how to fully spend my time for work and rest. Since I am working as an instructor and doing things I want to do personally, unlike when I was working at a company, I work and rest according to my own will, but it is not as easy as I thought to fully immerse myself in both. When I work, focus only on work, and when I rest, focus only on rest. The fact that this short sentence is not that simple is not only a concern of freelancers. I am still looking for the answer, but the first hint of high-quality work and rest that I have recently found is to ‘do only one thing at a time.’ If you have a lot of things to do and your mind is in a mess, set priorities and plan only one small thing per day and one big thing per week and focus on that. Then you can achieve it with a much more determined mind. When I rest, I also do only one thing at a time. When I sleep, I try to be faithful to sleep, and when I go for a walk, I try to be faithful to walking. The second is to distinguish between what helps and what hinders that one thing and add and subtract appropriately. It is okay to add elements that help you rest based on your own standards, such as doing laundry for a more fragrant sleep or listening to pleasant music while walking, but do not add elements that hinder rest, such as looking for music while starting a walk and walking while looking at your phone. It is not easy to focus on one thing at a time like this, but it feels great when you do it because you gradually build up complete time. These days, I often make drip coffee on weekday mornings or weekend afternoons and prepare to immerse myself in the intended time. I still don’t know much about coffee, but it is nice to quietly wait while sniffing the aroma until the boiled water cools to the right temperature and until the water that falls on the drip bag turns into delicious coffee. Coffee that I make myself calmly like this is an appropriate addition and a welcome gift for both work and rest. After this holiday, only three months remain in this year. I hope I can spend the remaining time neatly and lightly. I hope I can become one more English-speaking like that! ⠀ #gift @swedencoffee_bjorklunds #Hee-kyung's Forest #희경의취향기록
