For a long time, I prided myself on the capacity to multitask – being a working professional, a daughter, a wife, a friend …etc, etc, etc – different roles, different responsibilities – all rolled into one – me. It has been a fetish to ensure that I am able to cram or extract the most from any given moment of time! On the other hand, I would be lazy for an indeterminate stretches of time. Extremes – yes. Somehow this cycle made me feel very tired at the end of the day despite achieving whatever I had set out to achieve. It always made me feel as either being chased or being in the motion of chasing something!

I read at many places how it is possible to multitask without getting oneself in a tizzy and could never fathom out how people achieved that. Although my companion in life is a master of this art and science (and so are cats! Just observe them). Yet, I could never figure out how he did it so effortlessly with complete ease and grace.

Recently, I chose to live my life from the realm of pace, ease and grace (P E G – jokingly, I call it drinking the PEG of life). Suddenly, I have come to the realisation that I too can do it and it’s an immense pleasure to be able to live like that. How did this happen? Honestly, I don’t know.

If I were to figure out what I experience when I am doing it, I would capture it as operating from a state of mind where I am fully confident that everything will work out in my best interest, there is no need to hurry & worry, enjoy and be completely involved in whatever I am doing and ensure enough structures are in place to keep me in the flow of the activities (like putting in reminders, making a to do list).

What is your take on this?
