mmerriamA question for all my gentle readers.
How do you prioritize your time?
If you are one of the writers on my friends list tell me how you make sure that you get your allotted daily writing time in. How do you manage to not lose precious writing time to the daily things that must get done, such as laundry, eating, and dealing with the myriad stuff that crops up? Do you just give yourself permission to let things go until you've applied butt to chair for at least X amount of time?
If you are not a writer, then tell me what methods you use to prioritize time to make sure you actually get to have some fun (whatever that might be to you) once in awhile. We know that all work and no play leads to running around a haunted hotel while chasing your family with an axe. Since none of you have reached that point, you must able to relax somehow.
In other news, tomorrow at school I'm going to tell Lynn that I plan to start dropping classes, and re-arrange my schedule. It is my hope that the extra couple of hours saved every day will ease the scheduling stress, and will help both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Time management
Date: 2004-06-08 05:06 pm (UTC)That works for homework too. Paper always seem to get done on time, because I have to have them done by a certain date. I choose not to push my writing during the school year for sanities sake.
Other than that, I do have trouble keeping up with the laundry (though a lack of clothes usually prompts that before I have to go to work naked) and other house type work. And my cat will tell you that I am particularily bad about scheduling enough scritchy time for him.
It also helps that I'm usually more interested in what's going on in my own head than what's going on TV. Now that Sweetie has more evening meetings, I've been using boredom to my advantage.
