Sunday (same as saturday)

I work the midnight shift if you haven’t noticed. I need to study like mad because I have 15 books assigned to me to read this semester…uuuugggggh.

On top of this crazy schedule I’m looking for a second job to work Friday and Saturday.

I have a routine written out, but it’s from several months ago. It doesn’t reflect my current needs and needs to be revised. I’m hoping that once I do that, life will begin to flow more easily.

I’m the worst planner on earth… but at least I can wake up at 08:30, and have already made some accomplishments. The main problem is my bass guitar schedule. I constantly end up thinking ‘what to practice next?’ – that’s what I hate about long practice sessions. This problem should solve itself when I’ll start playing along to backing tracks and practicing my repertoire, though. In fact, I really SHOULD srart practicing actual songs.

First of all – no matter what, I must learn to wake up at 08:00 and be in bed by 00:00. So, everyday I’ll have 16 hours. There will be two-three days per week when I’ll have private lessons, so I’ll need a different schedule for those to days… It will take some time to make a perfect routine, but I made a list of the things that will need to fit into my routine:

• Math
• Japanese
• Chemistry
• Physics [not necessarily, but I’d like that]
• Bass guitar practice
• Some exercise, maybe yoga

Obviously, Math and Chemistry will need 2 hours each. I don’t need much time for Japanese [it’s mainly just grammar revision and kanji…] and Physics. I need at least 5-7 hours for guitar practice. I need about 30 minutes for exercise in the morning, and I think it would be good to do little bits of exercise [about 15 min.] after studying or just take a break when practicing.

Well, I don’t have my books yet, so tomorrow I’ll be concentrating on Japanese, Chemistry and guitar practice. We’ll see how it goes.

It’s a bit hard when I’m at university, everything gets a bit mixed up and I never know what I need to do.
I want to fit in time for craft, time to read a book, time for exercise, time to relax…
Here is what I’m thinking for those days that I go to work, not uni.
5.30 Wake up, brush teeth, get dressed
6.00 – 6.45 Gym
6.45 – 7.00 Shower, wash face, get dressed for work (at gym).
7.16 – 8.00 Catch the train to work – here I have time to read or time to do some knitting etc.
8.00 – 8.30 Walk to work and get a coffee on the way.
8.30 – 4.30 Work. Hard.
4.30 – 5.00 Walk to train station, get a coffee on the way
5.00 – 5.45 Catch the train home, time for reading etc.
6.00 Onwards – Make time to relax and talk with boyfriend 30 mins
Do some tidying up 15-30 mins
Read a book, do craft or play piano 30-60 mins
Organise clothes and lunch for next day 30 mins
Read blogs and browse web 30-60 mins
Play DSi or playstation 30mins
Have a shower and be in bed by 10.00!

I hope I can do it….

been so busy and lazy.

Well, I heard about a book called Getting Things Done, by Dave Allen. It has great reviews on Amazon. I am hoping it will inspire me.

wake up at 6:00
eat breakfast
workout for 2 hours
take shower/brush teeth
study for school/do school work for 3 hours
eat lunch
brush teeth
do dishes/clothes/other chores
put out stuff/prepare stuff for dinner
check myspace/43things/other things on the pc
watch some TV relax and just take a break
do school work till 9:00
watch TV till 11:00
go to bed

these are things i want/need to do every weekday

then i work in stuff that comes up by doing them during break or taking some time away from the home schooling since i am almost done lol

then i need to write some goals i want to do while doing all this like

make house look real real real good : organize, and just clean up the cluster

turn my fat into muscle and trim down my waist size

save up money as a kinda “ghetto” insurance fund lol

then basically just spend my week ends with my friends and away from all the routine like it don’t matter and then come Monday i want to get right back at it so message me on what i can improve ideas suggestions etc. thank you your buddy Levi J. Rich!

Well, I have a routine written out and am working on it regularly. Sometimes I don’t finish everything, but I am making improvements. I should be vacuuming right now instead of being on the internet…. so, I still have room for improvement. I get derailed way to easily. That is my biggest problem right now. I also need to get healthier.
