Day 40

Day 40:

Sometimes, I feel like I don't prioritize things very well.

The other day, I was planning out a new daily schedule. I thought that I had everything covered, like getting up and getting washed, working, reading, that sort of stuff.  But as I was doing the next day according to the schedule, I noticed myself getting quite hungry. I thought it was odd at first, it was writing time, not a mealtime yet. So, I checked the schedule and realised that I had missed out something quite important; I'd forgotten to include dinner time. It's also quite strict, with every single minute accounted for, from 7am when I wake up to roughly 11:30pm at night. So, I'm not really surprised that I didn't stick to my new schedule by the second day.

But on the second day, I didn't really have much schedule at all, and I didn't get as much done as I had on the first day. So, on the third day, I decided to make some changes to my schedule. I made sure to give myself proper mealtimes, good amounts of uninterrupted work time, as well as some good breaks. I did much better at following my schedule on the third day, and got to relax while getting all my work done. 

Having balance in your day is really important. It may feel good and productive to do lots of work for a while, but it's not good to keep doing it everyday. Look after yourself.
