The scheduling that I am referring to is my out of work time. This has mostly been open due to no extra curricular activities with a fraternity or school organizations. The problem I have noticed is that I have a lot of things I want to work on, and I tend to get sidetracked easily. As a result I feel that it is time to schedule my after work activities again like I did when I was very busy in school.
My schedule looks something like this:
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 am | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Videogames | Videogames |
| 10 am | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Videogames | Videogames |
| 11 am | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Videogames | Videogames |
| 12 am | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Videogames | Videogames |
| 1 pm | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Videogames | Videogames |
| 2 pm | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Videogames | Videogames |
| 3 pm | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Videogames | Videogames |
| 4 pm | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Programming | Programming |
| 5 pm | Work | Work | Work | Work | Work | Programming | Programming |
| 6 pm | Web | Web | Web | Web | Web | Programming | Programming |
| 7 pm | Dinner | Dinner | Applebees | Dinner | Dinner | Programming | Japanese |
| 8 pm | Japanese | Programming | Applebees | Japanese | Programming | Programming | Japanese |
| 9 pm | Japanese | Programming | Applebees | Japanese | Programming | Programming | Personal |
| 10 pm | Personal | Personal | Applebees | Personal | Personal | Personal | Personal |
| 11 pm | Personal | Personal | Personal | Personal | Personal | Personal | Personal |
| 12 pm | Bed | Bed | Bed | Bed | Bed? | Bed? | Bed |
The major reason for this is that I feel like I do not get enough work done on my personal projects (and I play too many video games) if I do not have a schedule. I am starting this this week and I hope that I can stick with it. I have a few really important goals with this:
- Work more on personal programming projects.
- Learn Japanese (which I keep meaning to do but never stick with it, I think scheduled time for this will help)
- Keep sane while working hard (I have to play video games and I need social time, thus both are scheduled in the form of video games and Applebees trivia nights).

So how is it going with the schedule so far? You know, I've had the very same issue for so many years now that everyone has given up on my getting better :P I, too, want to play videogames but there simply never seems to be time for that. My Japanese is going doooown the road of oblivion and the social network? Last week I realized that I haven't seen my neighbor since last summer X( Apparently, this is an emergency call. I will try to schedule my time too, but I'm not sure it will work, I'm not so keen on the thought of living day in and day out according to a schedule and not just see what surprises each day brings. Lol, this is exactly why I fail to live a normal life huh?
I'll be waiting for future updates about how you cope with it!
Btw, maybe you didn't see the answer on my blog, but I'd be very grateful if you sent me your A* implementation!
Thanks!
Bah, the schedule thing is only working when I want it to work, and the past few days I have not wanted it to work... I guess when I said it would be a lose framework I wasn't joking. FFXIII is taking too much of my time (I know I said I would be only playing video games on the weekends but I am just too into that game to not play it for at least a little while each day). Anyways, I have learned how to read hiragana now (for the most part, still takes some time for my brain to translate a few characters I do not see very often) so I guess it has not been a total loss. I have also started working again on some game projects I have going with some friends. Still looking for a new job and have had some call backs but nothing super promising. That is all for now on the schedule update.
