How to plan and spend a great week end: TGIF

This is dedicated to all working professionals. Their state of mind on Friday.


Before you read further here are the key points to remember during this entire reading-effort:
1. Human brain is divided into two parts- Left and Right.
2. Left brain control the right side of the body and holds reasoning and Logical skills.
3. Right brain controls the left side of the body and holds the creative and athletic skills.
4. Working professionals are often found to show Low utilization value when analyzed for the Right brain.


Do you want to continue reading?If no, please leave NOW else scroll down to expose yourself to some degree of tension. 


It is "Friday" evening (read 2:00 PM) and I just got exited with the thought from my right-brain that tomorrow is Saturday, a holiday from work and is ,therefore, a long-day ahead. A day which in my definition is not exactly 24 hrs long but with some extra-hours which even scientists have not yet discovered and is not submitted for a patent. The thought, though unreal, is an attempt towards self-motivation and to overcome the trauma induced in my daily-life by the so-called hectic week-day schedules I had to experience as a part of being a loyal member of working-professional community.


These additional hours that a small section of my beautiful mind has presented to me with some intelligent maths processing at background (don't know if it used android or windows or my head as platform) should be well optimized for planning and execution. 
To start planning how I should be spending these extra-hours the first thing now I need to do is to list down all the activities that can fit in this small-hours "Gift Check" I got in my thoughts. 


Should I visit a place? or should I sit back, relax and enjoy time? Would shopping be a good idea or shall I run? Should I consider more ideas? While I am still on discussion with my right brain and its internal team on this, a message box "NO. These are just enough to move to the next steps" popped up in front of my two I-lens, sent by "Left Brain". Yes I should be moving forward, I text back to the popped up message and closed my I-lens to draft and send an IM (Internal message) to the Left brain (Onboard resource) assigning it with a new task to generate a Performance Report which should prioritize these identified tasks and show a graph of Returns (of satisfaction) on investment of my time. I somehow for some odd reason feel "Smart Intelligent Human" when I assign tasks to my brain with confidence. Not sure if this is true for everyone?


While, my small Left brain and its limited resources are busy in collecting information to work on this task, my heart (strategic consultant-located at a distance from my head) is trying to push me to ask my right brain if I can do something else while my logical resource is actively engaged in delivering the results? Wow that would be good. After spending all these years in an industry which talks about sharing and optimization, this thought was obvious for the right reasons and I thank my heart for these valuable inputs it has given my throughout my life.


"What else can I do or assign"? I asked my head, with a 100 percent guarantee that neither I nor my entire body know the answer of this as this is a known defect. To cover up the odd question which I had now asked to myself in a haste, I looked at the computer monitor and noticed a ticket status on the screen which reads " On Hold. Awaiting more Information".  Yes this is it, I have identified a reason to say to myself why I am not able to decide what other thing I can do in the meantime. Thanks to the 19 inch flat screen, it saved me from going Flat on to my own trap. 


Its been 1 hour already and my left brain has not yet submitted the final analysis report to me, clock on my Iphone( I said clock not watch) is already showing float numbers starting with 3:00 and counting. Whats happening, why the delay? I IM'd the left brain group, still there? No response.


Anxiously, awaiting to hear back soon and to look for more options as a fall-back plan I started browsing through my Iphone chat list. Not even a single friend is online, all profiles say either "Away" or "Offline". This is not done, I can not be left alone like this on a Friday evening, I said to myself and quickly recited all the great words one would avoid to expose in public.


Frustrated to hell, I open my Facebook account and read the most recent update from a friend which goes "TGIF - Fully Exhausted. My Brain took weekend off, will be back on Monday. enjoy!!!"
This status update shocked me for second, somehow I managed to gain back my senses and now I realize that not responding on Friday evening is not friends fault nor of my brain. I  surely over-assigned my head resource during the week and so do my friends, its time I should let them and my brain enjoy and dream. 


Let me go home and spend this weekend sleeping and taking rest...Good night.
