A few more hours before boarding my flight en route to Budapest and I’m saddled with a very annoying decision of what I should and would do on a 15-hour flight journey:

• Reading a book (the old-fashioned way, yes!)
• Watch the endless movies available in-flight
• Draft blog posts to schedule them for the next few weeks
• Do some honest work so I can beat my deadlines
• Get some well-deserved sleep, because after all it would be 3 bloody a.m. in my time-zone.

Doing some work is obviously not my top priority after a 10-hour day of being mind-fucked, but knowing that I’ve got my plate full and need to clear some of it because I will not be in the office for almost a week is nagging at my conscience.

The problem is, I want to do the rest on my list too. And what better way to get things done when I  have no kids in tow to distract me! What to do…what to do!

Realistically speaking, the juice on my laptop would only last for a couple of hours, so technically, that means I either squeeze in some blogging time or just focus my thoughts to get on with work. The latter doesn’t sound very appealing.

See the problem? Too many things I *want* to do, too little time in a day to do it all. I get conflicted on things like that because if I choose one thing to do, there is this little voices in my head telling me that could be doing the other things. But hey! At least I don’t have to think about what to cook this week. (Actually…that’s not true because the moment I wrote that, I’m also mulling about what to cook when I get home)

The point of all this is that, in actuality, I’m just distracting myself from over-thinking about the fact that I’m flying. Just because it’s just something that I tend to get quite nervous about these days. (This flying anxiety hasn’t always been the case)

I wish I could be tele-transported. Poof! I’m there.

And by the power of poof! I managed to do all of the above on my list with a blink of an eye.

If only.

Alright. I’ll be off the radar for a couple of days from the blogosphere as I’ll be cooped up in some hotel’s conference room. Hopefully, I’ll manage to squeeze in a little blogging time.

See you in Budapest!
