We are complex systems in our own right. Our bodies work as highly intricate networks of interconnected organs, cells, and processes, all working harmoniously to keep us alive and functioning. Yet, as much as the human body adheres to systematic operations, our minds often work in less orderly ways.
I tend to be quite spontaneous and do not follow strict routines or processes. I have productive and counterproductive habits that ebb and flow. Most of the time, I try to keep my less desirable-habits in check. Still, I do not maintain tight control over my daily activities. I enjoy going with the flow.
At the same time, I greatly respect individuals who implement robust systems to manage their time, priorities, goals, and responsibilities. They clearly define schedules, processes, and protocols to optimize efficiency and ensure everything gets done properly.
So here I am, a walking paradox—a freestyle swimmer in a lane of synchronized divers. But hey, at least I'm consistent in my inconsistency. To all you systems people out there: I salute you. I may not join you, but I'll continue to watch you with awe from my cozy spot in chaotic bliss.
