establish a routine

For weeks now I have been printing off a blank timetable every week with the idea of planning out how I’m going to spend my time and organise my life. It’s a great idea, but unfortunately the timetable stays pretty much blank because I seem to have some sort of phobia about committing things to a particular timeslot. Of course, this leads to me not getting them done rather than leaving my time open to exciting opportunities that may possibly pop up unhampered by a filled-in timetable.

So this week, I have filled in my timetable. So far, it’s feeling good. It means that I don’t have to make decisions, and as my decisions usually result in the lazy option, less decision making is a good thing.

I think I’m getting somewhere with establishing a morning routine. Nothing amazing, but I’ve started thinking the night before about what I’ll have for breakfast and I am now making my bed before I leave. I don’t know what has prompted the bed-making, but it makes the room look much nicer. Not that the rest of the room looks that nice, with all the crap I keep on the floor, but it’s a small step in the right direction.

As for breakfast, I’m currently experimenting with porridge. I put raspberries in this morning and that was yummy. Blueberries give you purple porridge though, which is fun.
