At the moment everyone seems to be concerned with the election. I think it's pretty black and white, to be honest. Vote 1 - Krudd. There is no way in hell I - or any sane woman - would vote for Tony Abbott. Is it just me, or does he just hate women? I don't know whether his mother was part of some underground Nazi skinhead gang, but I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, what the hell is his problem? Firstly, I understand his doesn't agree with marriage equality. While I - and the vast majority of people in Australia - do, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I don't understand why he is so extremely against it. Why does he hate gay love? Love is love is love. Tony Abbott seems to think that gay marriage is some kind of fashion statement, a fad that will die out in time, but I don't suppose he has looked into the history of marriage and love. From the dawn of time it has been common for males and females to have sexual relations with their own gender. It's nothing new. I don't see why it's suddenly a fad. I think people have suddenly grown up and realised that while men and women have babies together, men and men and women and women have every right to marry each other. Even stone age people married the same gender. Think of the Romans! Everybody was sleeping with everyone!
Isobelle has been growing into a little person. She can't crawl yet, but she can get around in her walker now, and she drags herself around wherever I go. She's like a lost little puppy on my ankles. I can't go anywhere without her behind me. While she's still on the waiting list for day care, my cousin (who works in day care herself) has kindly offered to look after her while Daniel and I are at uni or work. This is great. Izzy can get to know her cousins! (Although I'm not sure what she is....what do you call your cousin's children in relation to your own children?) Izzy is a little whingey, since she is still teething, although no actual teeth have come through yet. She's very clingy and her little hands are always pawing at my feet.
I've recently read an article on Forbes titled '9 Habits of Productive People'.
1. Cut your to-do list in half.
2. Take more breaks.
3. Follow the 80/20 rule.
4. Use your morning to focus on yourself.
5. Tackle your challenging tasks before lunch.
6. Improve your email etiquette
7. Create a system.
8. Stop confusing productivity with laziness.
9. Stop multi-tasking
Who follows these things? I tried to do so to get all my uni work done in time, but all I managed to do was work on my novel and watch ABC for kids. My to-do list wasn't that big, but I still didn't cut up down in half. I have so many things to do, but somehow I just end up reading 'A Clash of Kings'. It's soooo good! I'm only just under half-way through, since I usually read it on the bus to uni, but it's still really amazing. I never get anything done, and I'm not really productive, but I guess my brain is stimulated. I can't wait for A Game of Thrones to start back up. I'm hoping I can read the books beforehand, but that doesn't seem too likely. I'm too busy these days, and I can't read as fast as I used to. I used to read all the time. I'd borrow twenty books from the library and read them within four weeks. That was back in high school, though. I didn't really have much to worry about then, nor did I have hectic uni assignments. It was easier to read, as I could dedicate about three hours or more every night just to reading. Nowadays, I'm lucky to read once a day. Maybe I should use the list to focus on my reading rather than my study. I still have so many books I have bought but just haven't gotten around to reading. I'll need to get a new bookshelf soon, although there isn't much room left in my house.
