Today I created a list for myself. What kind of list you ask? It is a list of things I need/want to accomplish every week day. I don't know about anyone else who is at home a lot, but sometimes my day ends without getting much done. Time is precious and I am terrible about not making the most of it. So I have decided to create a list to hopefully keep me from just squandering time.
At first I was going to try and figure out a schedule for my day, but then I realized my days were no where near consistent enough for me to be able to remotely stick to a schedule. So I opted to make a list of things I would want accomplished on a "normal" day when I am home all day long. Here's what I came up with:
Wake Up- 6:30
- Quiet Time
- Read 45 minutes
- Exercise 30 minutes
- Business 2-3 hours
- Piano/Music 45 minutes
- Sewing/Crafting for myself or family 1 hour and 30 minutes
- Cleaning 30 minutes
- Dinner Prep & Clean up
The times listed are minimum amount of time I would like to spend on each said task, some days more time will be spent, some days a certain task may be skimped or skipped if I am out and about running errands or the like. But on the whole my typical day should at least encompass this much. I usually find a list will help me stay focused and on task better, because if I don't complete it will be mocking me, so I have a little more motivation to get it done.
How about you, do you have problems with wasting time? What have you done to conquer it?
