Today is Saturday. In light of my goal to Live by a Schedule, how will things work on Weekends? Saturdays and Sundays are basically different animals for me than weekdays and therefore can’t be treated exactly the same. You have to determine what works best for you. My goal is to try and keep as much as I can consistent from day to day so that the habit will become engrained faster.
My hope is to have the same basic morning routine except the length of time for exercising will be longer. I like to hike or run longer on Saturday mornings. This morning my wife Lisa and I went for an hour long hike up the local mountain canyon. My regular running and hiking partner, Kurt Williams, came along with us. It was a beautiful fall hike. The rest of my day consisted of various things I needed to get done and places I needed to be.
Each weekend is different and you just have to deal with them as they come. My advice is to try as much as you can to keep the routine in place. Sometimes that won’t be possible but you just have to do your best. The goal is to get the habit deeply implanted in your brain so you can be on automatic-pilot most of the time. You don’t want to be having to make the same decisions again and again as to what you will do with your time. It’s not something you want to have to think about, but something you just do because it’s what you always do.
Most of what I write now are just theories. As we get into the day-to-day workings of this whole plan we will be finding out what really works and what doesn’t. I would hope that you, as a reader, will feel free to add your input and experience too. We can all learn from each other. Thank you.
