Don't eat up my slack!

The first week of the new summer schedule trial revealed its major fault: I somehow forgot to include time slots for meals and rest :)
Very true actually! A Freudian slip in time management... Why putting on your schedule something that does not really take place in your life? :) I eat at my desk or in the car, or on the way from classroom to parking lot... Have rest in car or - techincally "family" time is rest too... Or while doing laundry or cooking - my Dad would say that change of things you're doing is itself a rest.

From the other hand I started to get jealous and protective of my time as never-never before. Almost irritated when something unplanned comes up and messes up my plans. Our professor in Operations Management tells us scarry stories about contractors fired because of inefficient time use; and I do feel those project managers right now, sometimes holding myself tight from yelling outloud: "Don' eat up my slack!!!"

I realized that without an efficient time management system I won't survive this summer

Had to update my schedule :)  So now I have a schedule that breaks down all 7 days of the week by activities and time slots. The day would now start at quarter to 6, and finish at 11. And would have shorter period of time for studies, chores and self-development every day. Even the weekends have blocks of several hours for catching up with work, studies, family and social life =)

Looking forward to pulling off this experiment successfully!

The spring was hectic.

The summer promisses to be even more crazy.
Note to self: if one day I find myself missing this time of my life: remember about my rejected petition for internship excemption, request for additional evidence from CIS, and Lisa's rejected petition for housing off campus.
In addition to the 45 hour work week, 2 classes and insane heat.

And with desperate attempts to create somewhat significant life memories...
