We went camping over the weekend, and it seems to have taken me a few days to fully recover from a night of sleeping on a lumpy slope.
I stuck loosely to the schedule last week and had a productive week. I will have more about that to say in my retrospective on the month, which will be in the next few days. In the meantime, ChatGPT and I have come up with a pared-down, barebones schedule for the remainder of the month. I think a simpler plan works better for me.
Weekly Template (Sept 15–30)
- Morning (9–12) → Work Block (business/blog/YouTube/creative writing)
- Afternoon (1–4) → Project Block (conlang, experiments, deep research)
- Late Afternoon (4–6) → Flex/Errands/Overflow
- Evening (7–9) → Study/Skill (languages, coursework, reading, experiments)
- Daily anchors: meals, dog walks, family time
This Week (Sept 15–21)
- Mon–Fri: Stick to template.
- Sat: Light work AM, projects PM, evening family.
- Sun: Reset day—planning, errands, light creative if energy allows.
Next Week (Sept 22–28)
- Mon–Fri: Same template.
- Wed: Midweek review + recalibrate tasks inside blocks.
- Sat: Project-heavy day
- Sun: Rest + reflection.
Final Days (Sept 29–30, Mon–Tue)
- Treat as a mini-sprint:
- AM: Finish open loops in work.
- PM: Projects you want closed before October.
- Evening: Prep October’s schedule and goals.
