It's been a while since I posted about my new "allotments of time" plan but I think it is sort-of working. It's not fool-proof -- I do skip nights and sometimes work on the "wrong" stuff on a given night, but I do feel like there is more balance. Good example, last night I realized I was just wasting time so I looked over at my list of what I should be doing on a Wednesday. Ah, storefront maintenance. Good, I had been thinking of making a new calendar or two, might as well get that going.
It meant staying up a little late but I finished my Views of Victoria 2010 by just after midnight. And then I stayed up even later to finish watching Fight Club on cable. Sigh.
Anyway, the calendar is available and now I am thinking of making a Campus Rabbit calendar and maybe others too (flowers? BC in general? Vegetable patches of Victoria?). Let me know what you'd like to see and whether the price seems acceptable, considering it's print-on-demand.

Allotments of time
People often ask me, "How do you get so much done?" and, if I answer honestly, I tell them that I just tend to focus my time on a given subject for a short time then move on to something else. Eventually, I come back to things. Of course, I find this frustrating at times; some stuff falls off the map for weeks (months!) at a time making it that much more challenging to catch up.
So I have drafted a schedule, of sorts. Six nights with two or three tasks each, prioritized to some extent. I figure I'll give it a few weeks and then tweak it as needed then repeat that process until I get a working model. This is basically what it looks like:
Most days will be manageable, I think. Monday is mostly about press-releases and making sure I've uploaded any outstanding movie reviews. Wednesday is shop-day -- I don't expect to update every shop every week, but I should focus on at least one each week whether it's adding listings or promoting them. Saturday is left open for "catch-up" in case there's something that keeps me busy enough to not get things done during the week.
Basically, I hope to get these things done before settling in to my usual surfing, random blogging, facebook games, and other nonsense. That's the plan anyway.
