TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hey there everyone! I definitely dropped off the face of the planet at the end of this last challenge. But I am not too bothered about it because I was having a seriously hard time last challenge. I'm having a seriously hard time in general. Things have gotten better now that I have a job, but it's only 10 hours a week and that's still a lot of empty hours to fill. Plus I still don't have transportation to go anywhere. So my answer to this is to create a daily schedule of sorts. It's not perfect, but it gives me a structure and a go-to-bed time as well as a wake-up time. It also has a half hour built in for me to go for a walk first thing in the morning daily. Goal wise, my main goals are going to be 1) sticking to my schedule when it's applicable, and 2) being flexible when flexibility is needed. Hopefully having a schedule will keep me from going absolutely nuts. Schedule below: 8am - awaken, get dressed and ready for the day, eat, take my dog out 9am- Go for walk 9:30am - coffee and devotionals/bible reading 10am - work or free time 12 Noon - Make sure you eat lunch by this time (unless you're not hungry) 12:30- Work or free time 4:30pm - Take dog out again 5pm - start considering dinner (if hungry), free time after 9pm - start winding down, take melatonin, wash the day's dishes 10pm- get a shower 11pm- be in bed It worked out really well for me yesterday until the bedtime, but today is rainy and gross so I slept in an hour and am not going for a walk. We will see how this goes. 8 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Go Beyond - Jedi's Pro Hero Challenge Jedi Battle Log “If you feel yourself hitting up against your limit, remember for what cause you clench your fists!

TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hi everyone! So I've got an update about how my scheduling thing is working. Spoiler alert! It works WONDERFULLY. The walks are completely wonderful. They're not great for my allergies, but neither is having a dog and I continue to do that so... meh. I was feeling SO meh today. But I went out and walked for literally a half hour and I felt SO energized afterwards. I was going to skip it, but I talked myself out of it because IDK if I'll even be able to walk any of the next few days because it's supposed to rain. Like a lot. It's also great for making sure I don't overwork. I'm only supposed to work around 10 hours a week. I don't want to go too much over that and give in to my need to overachieve because I'll eventually be given more paid hours and I don't want my boss to expect double the work if I'm already working double the time. Basically, I don't want to be working 20-30 hours a week when I'm getting paid for 10 and then suddenly I'm getting paid for 20 and I should be getting more done if that's the case >_> IDK if that made sense but.. Mr. Right and I went to go see Infinity War the other day and... wow. That's all I'm going to say. But while we were out I got a new candle and I love it! It's called Lavender Sea and I'm hoping it's relaxing like my diffuser is. I think my favorite thing about the schedule is that it's so flexible. All the 'work' sections can be converted to 'me-time' sections for when I've done all my hours for the week, or I can push things off if I need to, etc. I have structure, but the world won't end if the schedule breaks down a little bit. It's helping me in other areas of mah life as well. That's all I've got for now, I'm going to go get myself a snack because I'm majorly hungry! Have a great Friday! 8 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Go Beyond - Jedi's Pro Hero Challenge Jedi Battle Log “If you feel yourself hitting up against your limit, remember for what cause you clench your fists!
