I understand completely that many times I need some pressure and deadline to get things done. What kind of things? Simple things like this, writing something!
I like writing, I have so many ideas in my brain, but I rarely put my ideas into words.
You may call me a lazy sloth. I am.
But, it's a different story when I have a deadline. It gives me pressure and I am an I-have-to-finish-my-work-before-deadline type of person. That gives me such motivation to finish what I try to do.
Recently, I said yes to be a volunteer in writing a short story for children. It should be an inspiring children story. Oh My God, after I said yes, I was in regret. Because I didn’t have any idea to write.
Well, to be honest, finally, the deadline saved me. Thinking that I had made a promise to other person gave me an urge feeling to be more creative. It gave me a little push to start writing something.
And I did. I finished the story in two days. Wooohoooo.. That’s really a record.
From absolutely have no ideas to okay I have an idea then to finally put the ideas into a story.
All in all, what I have done lately gives me confident to create more stories and to write more. To write about anything.
I just need a little push. Who wants to give me deadline?????

Perubahan itu ada di mana-mana kan ya? Dialami oleh siapa saja dan sering kali tidak terhindarkan.
Seandainya ada seseorang yang tidak mau berubah, kira-kira apa yang akan terjadi pada dirinya? Apakah bisa bertahan dalam kondisi penuh perubahan seperti sekarang ini?
Coba kita cek satu-satu.
Kebutuhan pokok manusia seperti yang dipelajari waktu pelajaran IPS dulu (ddduuuh, ketahuan deh angkatan berapa) ada tiga yaitu sandang, papan, pangan. Secara ringkasnya, pakaian, tempat tinggal dan makan.
Pakaian.
Seandainya ada orang yang sukanya dengan pakaian tertentu dan tidak mau move on dengan mode tertentu, apakah jadi masalah? Dari dulu sampai sekarang maunya warna putih atau yang netral, modelnya itu-itu lagi. Membosankan sih bagi yang lihat, di sisi lain, kalau dia nyaman dengan itu, pastinya nggak masalah lah ya.
Seorang rekan atau lebih tepatnya atasan tidak langsung saya yang berada di kota Bandung yang sudah senior (dari segi usia dan pengalaman) pernah mengatakan sesuatu yang menarik bertahun-tahun lalu yang masih saya ingat sampai sekarang.
"Ide itu seperti kupu-kupu yang dapat terbang kapan saja kalau tidak segera ditangkap. Ide, kalau tidak dituangkan dan segera ditulis, biasanya kita segera lupa dan akhirnya tidak dapat direalisasikan."
Nah, itulah yang sering terjadi sama saya. Seringkali ide bermunculan di saat dan kondisi yang tidak tepat. Tidak tepat maksudnya, tidak memungkinkan saya untuk segera mencatat ide-ide tersebut.
