I've somehow got into this sub-optimal habit of trying to do something of everything nearly every day of the week: some marking, some reading, some writing, obviously some Hiving, some language learning, some land chores, and (again maybe obviously) trying to keep on top of all the life-basics like washing up and food shopping.
The problem with this is that while it's worked to keep me on top of things, it's now getting to be a bit of a drag and a bit draining as I frequently find myself playing catch up with my goal list.
So I've made the decision to experiment with sticking to a downsized weekly timetable for a while and do some things less often but in bigger chunks while keeping other things almost daily...
Here's what I've come up with: the simplified version:
- Language learning takes priority every early morning or evening, except weekends!
- I'm going to get back to running at some point, probably a bit much with the land work, but there's a VERY tempting looking hill up the road and a view point that are just begging to be my regular run route - this will bring me up to working out four times a week along with circuits.
- LAND gets downgraded to three days a week from the five I've been doing - I'm on top of the clearance now, so I can chillax a bit and enjoy it more and...
- My blog needs more attention, so Tuesdays and Thursdays dedicated to that, should be enough.
- Evenings I'm handing over to language learning where I don't do this in the morning
- An unusual addition for me is to give myself the weekends off, almost - besides Saturday which now becomes shop day!
Besides the above I will also have a couple of hours every morning where I need to do odds and sods - marking for example is best done every day - sometimes it's none, sometimes it's an hour, it's just easiest to keep on top of it, and i'll throw in tidying around the house every evening too.
Hive writing I'm going to aim to do on TUE/ THURS, but dicking about on Hive I'll do anywhere it's marked 'off' - treat this like leisure, so that's Splinterlands, Hive-Engine, Discord, commenting.... you know the drill.
I think this new timetable could really work for me going into Spring 2022!
