Nope! Not, deadline (although I have a self-imposed one)…I’m talking about discipline. January is a busy, busy month for me. We’re supposed to be moving sometime this month…and whoops….I’m supposed to be packing *(insert sheepish, panicked grin here)*. Okay, so I haven’t started. It won’t take me long…er…I hope.
I need to learn to budget my time, and since there’s not going to be a better time for me to learn this, I’ve worked up a schedule that I (hope) will help me finish/polish Her Own Best Enemy by the end of this month as well as get all the packing done. By January 31st, I want to be ready to send out my first five agent queries.
9:00 am – 11:00 am :: Write my little tushy off
11:30 am :: Pick Daredevil up from Kindergarten
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm :: Lunch, Check Email, A little free time on or off the internet
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm :: Pack like the hounds of hell are on my heels
3:30 pm :: Pick ScienceBoy up from 2nd Grade
The rest of the afternoon is reserved for family stuff–taking care of the boys, making dinner, homework, getting the boys ready for bed, etc., etc.
Sounds easy enough….I’m just such an anti-schedule person. I see all that rigidity and it makes me cringe.
But I shall overcome!
Just, keep me honest, okay? ;)
