SCHEDULE
Last week in an effort to simplify my life and expand the amount of time I spend writing, I created a schedule. It was broken down by the hour. It was filled with notes of how I would spend each unit of my day. It had color headings. It printed prettily. It was utterly inaccurate.
Other than the hours I spend in self-imposed enslavement (for I do adore indoor plumbing, heated water and a consistent flow of electrons), the other hours of the day are in flux. The evening meal can occur at any time between 7 pm and 9 pm. Email is insidious and takes over entire blocks of time without even a by your leave. Sleep, an obvious necessity, can be restricted to certain hours, although it will retaliate in earnest if confined for too long to too short a span of time. And the randomness of a migraine can turn any day into a wasteland of unproductivity and pain.
The new schedule uses the labels "work" and "other". It has a much better chance than its predecessor.
