the "Alan-Yu-is-so-busy" myth
I wrote on my Facebook status that:
Some of you are curious what events I'm planning. Here it is:
I have not counted singspiration leading this week at church, writing articles for Gen Next (2 down, 2 left), leading small group at church, the discussion session with CCF leaders every other week, and hosting PP959. And on top of that I have just finished a book report for school today (due today!), and I need 5 reflections for next week's deadline, and a box of books to read for my research paper. Oh, and of course I have not included the events in Sept and Oct that I haven't started to think about.
I didn't expect that this will "wow" so many people. For one thing, this is normal workload for me, and I'm not particularly busy. I guess most people will have 14 to 16 small/mid-size projects on hand at work and not be surprised; but what interest me is that, 16 "events" seems to be A LOT for many people.
Well, if I've a day-job and work on 16 church projects after work, I'll be crazy. But don't forget this is my job!
Again, the "Alan-Yu-is-so-busy" stereotype is a myth. At least, I am still keeping up with the latest 家好月圓 episode. So if you need to have a chat with me, catch me!
Alan is planning 14 events at the same time... well, actually 15... no, 16.
Some of you are curious what events I'm planning. Here it is:
- 5 sermons for a camp at Calgary over the Labour Day long weekend
- The regular meeting for the Jubilant next sunday
- complete liturgies and sermons for 3 healing services in September (this is part of my school work)
- I.D.Zone seminar on sex next week
- I.D.Zone seminar on financial management later in August
- liturgies for a section of the program for AFC's Annual Dinner in September
- a seminar on biblical manhood for a church next weekend
- a seminar on biblical marriage for a church the week after next
- staff training session during AFC Staff Retreat in September
- Liturgies for Jubilization in October

I think it would be beneficial to many of us by sharing, for example, your daily routine so that we can learn from your excellent time-managing skill.
