I go long stretches of time without a ton of structure in my personal life. Sure, I have things that I like to do, and even things that I need to do. And I\u2019ll even go so far as to make to-do lists with dates attached. These kinds of lists can prove helpful, and even fruitful at times. But, ultimately, the majority of these chores and projects just keep getting pushed weeks, or even months, and my productivity suffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve been only periodically acknowledging this. Weeks will go by, and I\u2019ll keep seeing the same items on the list. In the past, I\u2019ve been successful in combatting this by breaking my days down to 30-minute intervals and blocking out time for certain projects. I\u2019ve not done this in years, but last week it felt like it was time for me to jump back into a highly detailed schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, today was the first day of this new schedule and it went very well. Not only was I a lot more productive, but I literally crossed more to-dos off my list in one day that I have in two weeks. It feels great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list has a lot of small household projects on it for now, but soon I\u2019ll have gotten through all of those and will be moving on to fun projects, like coding, circuit design, etc. Part of this will be more frequent blogging here too which should be a nice way for me to chronical what\u2019s going on. And for those who care to know, you\u2019ll be along for the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I write this, I\u2019m about to enter the Read Magazines<\/em> block of time, which is prodding me to conquer the stack of unread magazines on my desk that I never seem to find time for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First up: The MagPi<\/a> Issue 103<\/a> (March 2021).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I go long stretches of time without a ton of structure in my personal life.
