I’ve been trying to organize my life, at least a little.
I have hobbies. Way too many hobbies. Lots and lots of hobbies. Many of which some people could pursue full-time. Since all I have to pursue them in are, mostly, my evenings, it’s far too easy to completely neglect one or more of them for months, even years.
So … a new regimen. (And, yes, it’s pretty pathetic that I need to allocate out my personal time like this.)
- Mondays — WIST (quotations database — working on the db, sifting through quotations, looking up citations); Comics (cataloging).
- Tuesdays — RPGs (plotting my own, working on character sheets, painting figuress, doing character logs); Genealogy.
- Wednesdays — Writing (creative); Web (work on pages, sift/upload pictures); set up the Thursday Thumb-Twiddler; assist with the Washing.
- Thursdays — Clean the breakfast table; Bills.
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are all too unstructured to commit to anything. If I have time for any of the above then, great. Otherwise …
I’ve tried to set it up so that I have a choice on any given night, if I’m feeling creative, or just want to do something organizational. I’ve also tried to keep the creative energy needs of Mondays down to a minimum.
We’ll see how it works. Some of the above projects have been neglected for way too long.
