Things I'd Like to Devote Time To

This summer, I want to set my schedule for the following:

(I may change or adapt this later, and it doesn't apply to time I will be on vacation. I will be on vacation from, I think, the second week of July through the first week of August, plus a week before term starts to account for work week and moving.)

Weekdays (Monday through Friday)
  • Work for 10 hrs per day (I plan to define this more thoroughly later, but on average 5 of these hours will be focused on the prosthetic knee.).
  • Sleep for 7 hours per day (and schedule for 7.5 because I know I'll get less!)
  • Meditate for 30 minutes per day
  • Make time to eat! (This should take 2 hrs per day: 30 minutes for breakfast and lunch, and an hour for dinner, including getting and cooking food.)
  • Make time for hygeine. (This gets an hour per day).
  • Make my schedule/plan for the day. This should take 30 minutes.
  • 2.5 hours of time for exercise, time spent with D, helping other people and social stuff in general. The exact amount of time I spend on each of these will vary, depending on the day.
Weekends (Saturday and Sunday)
  • Kitchen Duty, House Duty & other house things (2 hrs each day)
  • Spend 10.5 hours on sleeping, eating, and hygeine, the same as during the week.
  • Spend time thinking and reading about personal and professional development. (2 hrs)
  • Meditate (1 hr)
  • Free time to think and internet in general, by myself (3 hrs)
  • Clean my room and do laundry (2hrs)
  • Social time! (Includes exercise, generally spending time with other people in a focused way, and randomly doing nice things--3 hours.)
  • 30 minutes of planning my day and upcoming week
My plan right now is to schedule each day and week as it comes and use this as a sort of time budget. I plan to shuffle things as I go along and keep track of what gets shuffled where, so I can budget better in the future.
