Schedule my time better

Everything is means to an end. Where do you want to end up?

I thrive on having a routine, but that’s sometimes hard to do because my work doesn’t always have predictable hours. Here are some routines I’ve kind of gotten into -

8pm-ish Friday night: Laundry for the week
early Sat. morning: Grocery shopping for the week
midnight, weeknights: Bedtime

And, for real, I have a lot of things that need doing.

So, I’ve started setting goals for myself and making myself busy – in the absence of an externally-imposed schedule, I have to make my own.

But I get sidetracked and end up spending more time than necessary doing things. So I’ve decided to just keep track of time a bit better – I have a new Ikea-bought egg timer and set it for intervals of 15 minutes. We’ll see how this works.

I will work the clock. I will watch my time.

I will make sure that at the close of every day, I have accomplished something.
