Today was my first real test of Living by a Schedule. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went. I followed my morning routine to a tee and got more done in the morning than usual and still made it to work an hour earlier than normal. I was shocked at how much time I must normally be wasting each morning!
Because I got to work earlier than usual I was able to go home earlier. My wife was shocked to see me home so early and didn’t really know what to do with me.
One thing I noticed was the absence of the normal afternoon sleepiness I experience at work each day. I felt good the whole day and I believe it was because I got to bed at a decent hour last night. Now I know that one day doesn’t prove anything but I am encouraged so far.
There is a term used often on many self-development web sites. It is: Live Consciously. I experienced at bit of that today. I was much more aware of my time and what I was doing with it. I was also consciously doing what I had planned to do and not just what I happened to feel like doing at the moment. It felt good!
Hi dad! I really enjoyed reading your goals. I would love to live more by a schedule too, although it’s hard with 3 small children! But, maybe I should write down my ideal schedule anyway, I think it would help a lot. And if you have any luck with making your eyes better let me know, mine just keep getting worse and worse… love you dad!!
Hi Erika! Thanks for your comment. Living by a schedule is harder than you think. Life is so unpredicatable and having teenagers at home doesn’t help either. Wish me luck on the rest of the goals and good luck with yours. I love you too. Dad.
