routines and robes....i need them.

how do you fight this ?

i have friends who love to fly by the seat of their pants. i have friends who love to travel for a living. i have friends who prefer a nine to five in a cubicle. i guess all these types of people make the world go round, right?

well, i don't know about you, but i am a routine lover and a homebody. in a nut shell: i want to make my own schedule, stick to it, and be at home all day. i love my house and i love working in my PJs...somehow i am way more productive when i am fully comfy. i understand how getting "ready for work" could help someone who is working in an office setting remotely, but how about creative writing? isn't that different? that's not a real  job right? Haha

ok, after all my ranting on why i love routine and blah blah blah, you know what? i cannot get into a routine this year. it's just not happening for some reason. maybe it's because i do multiple jobs all day long or because i'm adjusting to life after a Christmas season. whatever it is, it has to stop! :)

so here's what i am going to do. remember my calendar from a few days ago? the one that is also a mouse pad? well, i am going to keep writing my daily tasks on there just like before. and i am going to write my day down in couple-hour blocks. 9-10 will be dedicated to getting up and getting the house and office cleaned up from the previous day. 10-11 will be other, less creative jobs i have that require more numbers. 11-3 will include lunch while i write.

this way i can do what i want and also get done what i need. maybe rigid routines are unrealistic after all. maybe i just need to set my routine the night before every day so that i have something to follow? maybe my routine will change times, but it will be just as productive? gosh i hope so. if anyone has a tip or two on how you juggle different jobs on different days, etc, etc, please do share!

have a very productive day!
