Becoming Bakitza

An aspiring bakitza attempting to slowly take control of her journey


Delayed Start

Dear Conscience,

As I mentioned, I am currently in a pre-deadline mode, so I won’t take any of my productivity for granted unless it sticks beyond the deadlines. However, even now, when I do get some decent hours of work in, I actually start too late. I left myself some minutes of browsing allowed, which are supposed to serve as mental breaks. But I just use them up in the morning before actually starting to work.
I have to open the laptop, and immediately go do something useful. And there is no digital trick for this, I have to use my mind. This is my next habit I’ll try to enforce. Mindfully open the laptop and get to work. Slowly.

Sincerely,

B.

About Me

I got my first nickname when I was 4 years old. It was “bakitza”, which means ‘an old lady’. I’ve always been an old lady on the inside. And as I progress towards being an old lady on the outside too, I want to take control of this journey. To reach the full fledged bakitza level with a peace of mind I always associated with that life stage. I thought it would come on it’s own with age. But now I realize that I have to take control over the mess that my life currently is in order to be a thoroughly satisfied bakitza one day.
