To-Do lists that matter!

Today was one of those rather long days at work but I am not tired! I had a lot more focus and a different kind of positive energy during the day. A Monday without blues - is that even Monday?

No coffee and still full power: 

- Reached home around 11 pm and cooked myself my version of Shahshuka that looked like the image on the right. 

- Started the HBO show"Years and Years" which I have been avoidingso that I don't get hooked. My colleague described it as HBOs best series (better than Chernobyl?) - promising 1st episode though!

- And I am blogging at 2:45 am - still not tired!

Lets rewind:

20th July (Saturday): I ran a relay Marathon @ MacRitchie Park with my colleagues. We had to complete the underestimated goal of 14 rounds of a 3.5 Km track that was not exactly on a plain terrain. I completed 2 rounds in 30 and 28 mins respectively, felt extremely sad about for my fitness levels yet snacked throughout the time my teammates were running and had rather active Saturday in anticipation of solid DOMS the following day. 

Following Day (21st July): If Saturday wasn't enough, I decided to confuse my body yet again by actually showing up for the Squash game with the Squashers. By now my body is sore and my organs are still settling from the torture. Post the game I treated myself a meal of Egg-Onion-Cheese Prata and Teh Haliya @ Jalan Kayu!

So the physically active weekend can explain the high energy the following Monday:

- It was a productive day as it started with completion of certain small tasks in the first hour and that prodded me to create a To DO List for the rest of the day. 

- Striking one task after another gave me such invincible power - it was addictive

- I was organised in my work and felt super confident in chairing the weekly meeting today

- I didn't mind staying back and completing some of the tasks still pending on the list.

- The list is not yet complete and I can't wait to go to work tomorrow to strike few other tasks off (maybe this is an exaggeration - but I do feel the energy now)

Would I like such Mondays to come more often - YES

Do I need a super active weekend to feel this way every Monday - Perhaps!

Will I make more ToDo Lists again - YES, I need to get used to them.

I need to knock off now to actually wake up in time for work!
