There is too much to do and so little time, but there is certainly enough time if spent well. With the recent life upheavals and bouts of minor illness, I severely got off my work game. The goal is to put in an average of 10 hours a week teaching/prepping the distance courses I teach for NCSU. This past month I have been far too shy of that goal only pulling about 4 hours a week. Also, I haven't done pottery in months, and hadn't done it since pregnancy with Daniel before my last short stint. I am hoping to get back into that as well, and motivating myself with a blog ... because that's just what I do. Schedules are not my thing, but goals are. Sometimes goals demand schedules.
The new weekly goal is:
Bible Reading: mornings while Joe showers, before Daniel is up
Laundry/Chores/Straightening: Monday mornings and daily before Joe gets off work
Grocery: Monday afternoon or as needed
Courses: 2 hours a day during Daniel's nap
Pottery/Gardening: Tuesday-Friday mornings with Daniel playing close by
Playdates: Tuesday-Thursday afternoons
Blogging: Late afternoons or evenings, depending on dinner plans, or during extended naps
I may totally ditch the plan, but hopefully I can get into a rhythm that works for us.
I like it. I have been rolling over something similar in my mind lately as well. We'll see if I can get it together any time soon :-)
ReplyDeleteI like to think that I work better with schedules (I am a list maker and life is chaos for me if it isn't organized). I, too, have been mulling over some kind of creative schedule for myself, one that limits things like TV and computer, and opens up more time for my wheel, sewing, gardening, and reading. Maybe I will sit down tomorrow and figure something out!
