I wonder why it would be so hard to make quotas; don’t we do them all the time?
Let’s take my case for example.
-Internet time quota:
limited to 1 card per month (around 200- 300rbls, especially since the rates increase the past few weeks)
-monthly expenditure quota:
everyone has this, unless they're freakingly rich, or have freakingly rich and maybe overly generous benefactors, so I’m not going to elaborate more.
- Daily/weekly expenditure quota:
one of those I bend a lot. Depends on my wallet (the one in my pocket, not the metaphorically speaking one u idi- ehem, the next one..)
- meeting people quotas:
after some time, I’ll get tired, so this is an energy-saving measure. This quota is a subconsciously active one. It might be different for different people. I even have a friendliness quota with girls, and other human types, even online…the only ones I don’t have these quotas with are animals and me. I think I treasure my quality time alone.
- Talk quota:
I don’t know if everyone has this. I give my mouth limits quantitatively and qualitatively. I can still only guess the maximum limit, but I try only to talk when it feels right. meaning I’m learning to keep my mouth shut.
-sleep quota:
kinda the other way around, it’s the amount of least sleep hours I need. I’ve been trying to get this one straight (and less), but it’s an uphill battle with my sleeping habits
- Food quota:
I do have it, how else can I get my expenditure quota right, then? Actually, there is not much of it, because it’s a substantially large quota, because I eat a lot, and it can grow depending on my lifestyle.
- Exercise and rest quota:
ok this sounds like bull, and p
artly like a community service message phrase, but I try them too.
- work quota:
if you want proof that I am the opposite of the traditional workaholic, here it is, I try to make it only just enough so that I can get by without too many complaints.
My work motto seems to be “why procrastinate tomorrow what you can procrastinate today”. Man I need motivation.
- My fun-and-games or time-wasting quota:
you’ve been a bad boy zyryx…very,very bad...
- My hobbies quota: again this one works mostly like the work and sleep quotas. I must do my least number of hobby stuff in a minimum number of times allotted. In other words whenever I have the time I must make my decision either to do them or go to sleep, chat etc.
- my ibadah quota- again, no upper limits,just lower ones
- my sin quotas : i'm trying to nail it to zero, but think about what i should do about my visual quota, hearing quota and others that i might not know of...insyaAllah i'll try to in every breath i still have
Sometimes I can be mad enough to break these normally human quotas (I believe these quotas are subconsciously hot-wired to our brains o that we can function normally), and there u’ll see a dysbalance in my character, like some nights when I don’t sleep, which is a cause for me to sleep more on Sundays.
I’m trying to be a good muslim, and I’m trying not to be a spendthrift at anything, but not too penny-pinching either, so I made these quotas with both upper and lower limits, as a means of achieving what they call “wasatiah” in my life, insyaAllah.
or maybe i'm just another wannabe control-freak for some
p.s. – rather than quotas, you might consider this more as aims, but the word quota seems to pop in my mind somehow, probably from the last comment I read here in my blog. Whatever.
