Recently I have been spending a great deal of time staring in horror at my lengthy to-do list- after utilising my beloved CAS calculator, I discovered that in fact the tasks on my to-do list will take more hours there are to complete than hours that I am awake in the next week. However if I don't sleep, then I should be able to squeeze almost everything in. Of course blogging is near the top of my priority ordered list, which illustrates how important the things I have to do are. Also, all of the smaller tasks seem to end up on the top of my priority list for reasons that are as yet unknown, however there's a fair chance that it is due to my being inexorably lazy. As a result, blogging, which takes me under half an hour per day, somehow ends up around number five, and my hefty pile of homework makes an appearance sometime thereafter, even though it is the only thing that will actually affect me in the medium term if I fail to complete it. Which is why I am blogging at the ungodly hour of 9:45 AM, yet have not touched any books today.
Perhaps the taks I actually need to do could be moved up the list if there was more time at my disposal. The only means of attaining this is to eliminate the need for sleep. While I already do this to some degree by mass consumption of instant coffee, there comes a point where I fail to concentrate and eventually need to sleep, much to my distaste. If I didn't need to sleep, then all of my problems would be GONE. Someone who is not sleep deprived (as I perpetually seem to be) and can concentrate for more than an hour at a time needs to invent some means of dispensing with the requisite of sleep. Whilst they're at it, they could even work out some method of eliminating the need to eat, because it's little more than a waste of time that I only engage in so that I don't accidentally drop dead, fun as that sounds.
Maybe I need to add 'inventing sleep and nutrition substitutes' to my to-do list. Although, I will probably never get around to it as it will take more than an hour, so it will end up at the bottom of my priority list.
