create and stick with a daily schedule

I dropped a lot of outside commitments and think this is done.

I’m making progress. What is different is a new job, 90 minutes commuting every workday, a health club membership, and taking two college classes. It’s forced a schedule on me.

So far, so good… (it’s 10:00 am).

I’m going to try to do this and report back with how I do. I’m going to try to make progress on my 43T list, too.

This is an important goal because it helps me to make progress on many of my other goals, so as I do this one, I am also able to work on the others. Yesterday I did very well.

6 am – out of bed
6:30 – breakfast, take vitamins, prepare for the day, etc.
7:45 – leave for work
8:00 am-5:00 pm – work (lunch around noon)
5:00-5:45 – gym
6:00 – arrive home, dinner
6:30-9:00 free time, take a walk, update budget (spending record), chores, relax, etc.
9:00 – prepare for bed, pray and read the Bible
10:00 pm – lights out, sleep

It’s simple, but should help me meet some goals:
Read the Bible, pray every day, keep a prayer journal, exercise or walk every day, lose weight, don’t procrastinate, sleep more, spend less time on the Internet, be more organized, and probably a few more. If I eat healthy food during the scheduled meal times, there’s another goal. Of course some days there will be unexpected interruptions to the schedule, but if I go about this with a little discipline, it should work out well.
