The Dynamism of Priority

What Am I Not Spending Enough Time Doing?

A question that could have various correct answers all depending on when was asked...
They are the groups of questions that never get to have a perfect answer

Priorities displace previous priorities

Needs displace wants

It's always a displacing world

Today it's reading book displacing watching movies

Tomorrow it might be playing video games displacing reading books

There's never an end to the cycle.

In an attempt to answer the question above, what I was doing amazingly well that I am not givingenough time now...

It's no thing other than Watching Movies.

I know a lot might think it's something trivial and doesn't need to be accorded time to but permit me to say it's a lie....

Watching movies became a great part of my life growing up as a kid and I eventually kept on doing so till I bumped into medical movies... A greater part of my inspiration to be a medical doctor came from watching movies .

I guess you can see why it is to me a great part of my life I'm lacking and needs to be given bigger time.

Through watching a lot of medical movies and non medical movies, I was able to get exposed to various happenings about life even without experiencing them firsthand...

I travelled to various countries even without setting foot on their soil and got to know a lot about them and their culture.

Watching movies also helped me improve on my vocabulary, hehehe.

I always watch Movies with subtitle, pen and paper prompting me to always pause at intervals to jot down new quotes and new words I heard from movies (will shock you I got my nickname, sergiospero from a movie, hehehe)

Finally, watching movies seems like my discovery home for musics.
Most movies are gloriously backed with melodious soundtracks and I get to discover many artists via watching movies and end up relaxing with most of the musics I discovered there

What you gave time today might end up becoming what you don't do at all tomorrow, (the Dynamism of Priority) and that's just how the world works...

On my end, I've not stopped watching movies entirely but rather I've reduced the time I give to watching movies because of my academic activities.

Truth was that I still watched a lot of movies even with my academics , but then, with the inception of Hive and my onboarding on it, it became a difficult task to multitask around the three activities.

Watching movies took the greater hit and here I am looking for 36 hours/day to watch movies the way I do before that I will never get.

After my academics, be rest assured, I'm bouncing back so until then, my dear movies.... Bear the loss 😢
You're the Opportunity Cost in Economics while my book and hive are my top in my scale preference.

Never multitask to a fault; when you are loosing it entirely on an aspect of your life you deemed important, it's better to stop... There will be time for what you crave once there is life


Thanks for reading and have a great day ahead 👍

Watching movie brings an exposition of others culture and traditions so near that we are able to have a near-first hand experience how things are done in the far away societies

A greater part of my inspiration to be a medical doctor came from watching movies.

That's great but it's the first time I heard someone get inspired to be a doctor from watching movies. It's interesting.

Watching movies also helped me improve on my vocabulary, hehehe.

I can relate myself to it because I also do the same thing you do.

I heard from movies (will shock you I got my nickname, sergiospero from a movie, hehehe\

I thought it was your real name.

but then, with the inception of Hive and my onboarding on it, it became a difficult task to multitask around the three activities.

Hehe. I found many similarities with you and I also facing the same situation. What a match between us.

Hehe... The way they act it in movies saving literally all sick persons made me Interested so as to be able to save my own family

Nah... Sergiospero isn't my real name but it has successfully taken the place of my real name 😂

Hehe, hopefully we will find a balance soon

Thanks a lot for engaging

Wow it sounds like movies mean more to you than they do to others. You got inspired to be a doctor from movies? Not to help saves lives?😂😂
I'm just kidding

Well kudos to you on your academic activities that are taking the wheel right now. Like you said there is time for everything. You'll get your movie time and you'll probably get tired of it as well. In the meantime, I wish you success in all your endeavours.

The Guide To Hivelist Tag states:

The ‘contests’ tag is one of the more popular tags and is meant for users to promote any contests they are holding. For example, if you are holding a contest for your tribe or community and you want to promote it, simply add the ‘contests’ tag to your post and it will show up on Hivelist in the Contests area! Please do not use for contest result posts, we really just want the contest promotion itself.

That means you should as a minimum provide a clickable link to the contest you are participating.

For example, like this:

This is a contest from the stable of the #The Ink Well Community. Interested in joining? Kindly click on this: LINK

Actually it says you should use it only for contest you are holding. But in practice many bloggers who are participating in contests have also been using it and the founders of Hivelist have not admonished them. So, I believe they will amend the requirement soon.

On the bright side, the movies that you are not watching now will be available later when you will have more free time for them. 👍😃

The movie shouldn't definitely take the hit. Medical students study a lot because their job doesn't give room for a tiny mistake and the time dedicated to study can definitely make
them forfeit some activities in their lives.

It is only for a short time though, there will be enough time to do everything you want after school.

I get what you mean. This is just me this day, I have left movie, not entirely but it won't as much as before, I prioritize my time now to other important things like hive and school.
Let the movies wait. Opportunity cost indeed. 😁

Don't you know I learned conversational English through watching movies? One reason why I could read a book so well as I learned to dramatized it.🤭

What's priority to others may not be for us and vice versa. Only ourselves knows the real score so let's press on, yeah? And learnings, we do it ourselves. Cheers to your realizations (and to mine too)🤍
Good thing I'm done with school academics, just studying for personal consumption.😁

Hehe.... That's really the best part of reading.

Yeah you are absolutely right about that your best activities might be something you don't have time to do later in the future.
Even the blogging some people might find something that will keep them busy and they wouldn't have time to post like they normally do.

I like your use of the economic terminology, opportunity cost. I also realized that a lot of things I'd been doing have been overtaken by other things which are now my priorities and though it sucks, I'm comforted that I'll pick them up again when things get stabilized.

It's usually nice to see that you're not alone and people are going through the same things like you. Hope you're having a good day dear @sperosamuel15.

Trivial? Tell me about it. I think I fall in this category too. Looking back at the number of hours I spent watching movies, I'm doing a terrible job of recent😅.

I hope you get this degree soon enough so that you bounce back really quick. I should make you my hive movie plug. What do you think🙃
