Omo, I Don Tire!- No BS Tips For A Tired Nigerian Adult

i don tire sote...

Amebo, I don’t have much to say today. I just don’t want you to think something has happened to me (even though I haven’t written to you in about four weeks now, but we won’t dwell on the negatives)

Abeg no vex for me, I was kidnapped and arrested by a marketing campaign I was executing (executing- wow look at me using professional lingo and stuff) at work. It really did become my Alpha and Omega for the past few weeks and as much as I like to give 1000% on tasks, I don’t think letting it take over my life is a good thing.

These past few weeks, I could barely find time to enjoy fun stuff or handle some responsibilities. When I had a little time to, I was too mentally tired or worried about how the campaign was doing to let myself focus on other things, talk less of fun.

I just wanted to sleep. Or cry. Or worship. (I was/am even slacking in the prayer dept. but that is a story for another day)

There are a few lessons I am learning from being so swamped these past few weeks and because I think my Amebos should not struggle as much as I did, I will share. (You won’t say thank you Ify before I vex now?)

• Take 15 to 20 minutes breaks every 2 hours or so. This will help your head to cool down. Sha don’t go on Twitter or IG, if not, you won’t come back. Go on YouTube instead and watch a 10-minute low-effort BBNaija video.

• When it is closing time, close. This “work from home” distin can be intrusive and if you are not careful you will work till 1 AM without knowing. Abeg, close laptop, go chop, baff, watch Netflix. No be you kill Jesus.

• Have your breakfast ready the night before. Or at least prepare the ingredients the night before. If not, you will end up eating popcorn and crackers three mornings in a row and the mallam selling it on your street will be greeting you “Aunty welcome” when you come to buy more.

• Take a walk in the morning or evening. If you are like me and you suddenly become a genius when you take walks, then I don’t need to say much. If you are not, learn from geniuses like us. 😏

• READ YOUR BIBLE IN THE MORNING! If you no do am for morning, you go forget or worse, do #JesusWillUnderstand and not read it at all.

  Fun Stuff

• This is the kind of funny video I watch when I take those 15 to 20-minute breaks.

• This is my favourite ad at the moment- not like I drink Coca-cola like that or anything, but the lines, sis. The wordssss.

• The “I Said What I Said” podcast from FK and Jola will always be bae, (if you still say bae, you’re raz and i love you) especially this episode with Dimma Umeh where they talk about the love of money and Owambes. You should listen.

• Lazy people, get in here! This article justifies our laziness. Today na our day, make we do shakara!

  Till next time Amebo!

  Ya gurl,
