Yeah, I'm at it again...

Today was my only full day off - and I'm taking my time with getting stuff done. And not letting myself feel guilty about it, either! LOL  But I decided that as of the 1st (since I like starting things at the beginning) I'm going to use my work schedule ('busy' from 9PM to 8AM) for my daily schedule. I'll devote two hours of every day to a project, either indoors or out depending on weather. If I feel like working longer, I will, but I won't feel guilty if I stop at just two. Then two hours will be spent on writing - I'm still trying to decide if it should be every other day fanfic/original or just what I feel like working on that day. I'm kinda thinking I should have a more definitive schedule so I don't waffle about trying to decide. (Yeah, I know - discipline! How ghastly!) But those two things (projects/writing) definitely get two hours each, every day. And I'll plan for 6 hours sleep every day - more or less than that and I feel as if I hadn't slept at all. Whatever time is left will be for whatever I feel like doing (which on non-work days means a lot of extra time for projects/writing/FUN). Again - guilt free!

I think this time it will work. Mostly because it's really turning into fall now and that's always my most productive time of the year. And I've allowed plenty of flexibility in other things so I won't feel like I should be doing something else during my writing/project times.

Now we'll see if it actually works or if I just have to admit to being totally disorganized and undisciplined...

Yeah, I think I do have to schedule one or the other. I was thinking, too, of cloning JFM borrowing one of JFM's methods and writing fanfic on weekends and original during the week (since the original really should have more time/higher priority than fanfic... dammit!).

That's what I'm sort of doing. Coursework weekdays, fanfiction weekends... (including Friday night coz usually I can't concentrate having worked, and then working the next morning).

Only I'm not doing that right now because I'm solely concentrating on these competitions. Even my fanfiction has been paused :-O
