Scheduling
If you’ve made a promise to yourself to do A.)_____ B.)_____ & C.)_____ with your day, then you must truthfully examine your available hours and successfully schedule your time. It seems a matter of saying to yourself “If I’m serious about wanting to do A.)_____ B.)_____ & C.) and I know that A._____ B.)_____ & C.)_____ take X.)_____ amounts of time, then I must make X.)_____ amounts of time available in my day. It seems like this process should take place the day before. It doesn’t need to be some exhaustive process. Merely something along the lines of knowing what things you have to do that are hard targets timewise (practicing guitar for 30 minutes, for example) and knowing what things are potential time sucks. For example, once you’ve left the house at 5:45 for your 6:30 class that ends at 9:00, you may get home at 10:15 as planned, or you may not. Things can always come up. The trains might get goofy, or you may spend an extra 20 minutes chatting with classmates after class. If you’ve successfully scheduled your hard target time commitments early in your day, you can take that extra 20 minutes chatting and not feel guilty. It might mean sometimes going to bed earlier the night before in order to get done what you want to get done with your day. It will require alot of self honesty and self awareness. You need to know what your “hard targets” are and what your potential time sucks are and act accordingly.
