Leon's phone screen lights up and it is already 10pm, he has just reached home after a 14 hours working day. Exhausted and hungry, Leon had wanted to take a 5 minutes breather as he drove 40 minutes from office back home. Instead, he fell asleep immediately.

Leon's exhaustion originated from the fact that he has been spinning too many plates. His sick father has once again been hospitalized just yesterday for breathing difficulty that arose from COPD problem, and episodes like this has been happening and repeating on a bi-monthly basis.

Back in office, Leon is a project manager for one of the top event management company in town, he has been assigned to 6 projects concurrently ranging from idol's meet and greet for fans to top executive business meeting, with each individual requirement and logistics. To add on to this role, Leon graduated with a Masters in Computer Science from an Ivy league university. Armed with that, he is concurrently leading a taskforce in the company to explore the use of AI and various automation methods for work process optimization.

As an ambitious young man, Leon took a bold decision to enroll in a part time MBA course in the his ala mater which requires him to report to school twice a week and with the same study load of that of full timers.

Leon is in fact wondering what he is doing with his life now, spinning that many plates at one go, and now he feels like most of the plates are going to fall on and his body is about to collapse.
