So I was thinking of making two big changes to how I do the weekly schedule. The first is that I am thinking of making Thursday a day off. Before Saturday was kind of a day off but then I got rid of it, so I am thinking replace that with Thursday. The first reason for that, is because it creates a hard deadline. The daily deadlines feel a bit soft and I some times think, ‘you know if I get behind a little today I can just catch up tomorrow, so no big deal.’ I don’t want that sort of situation though, so if I make it is a hard deadline, I have to have the first half of the week all done by Wednesday night, and second half all done by Saturday, then that feels like a much firmer deadline. Secondly that adds another carrot and stick. If I do fall behind then I have to use that day off to catch up on everything, and if I am all caught up then I get it off.

The second thing I was thinking of changing is my weekly planning. So having Monday to reflect and plan things is really important to help fine tune things and continue to make progress. Usually that doesn’t take the entire day, so after reviewing all the stuff and announcing what I am doing, I usually spend some time working on my project for the week to get ahead a bit. So if there is some issues, that is usually when I notice them. So I was thinking is might be better to post my initial plans and objective on Monday like normal, but then post the specific daily goals on Tuesday, so I will have had a chance to tinker around and look things over before making those goals.

So with that in mind, this week I am looking at doing the next two days in Kawaii. My first thoughts are aquarium Tuesday, the optional areas Wednesday, which means the first day will have a deadline by Thursday. Then the market on Friday, and Saturday can add in any relationship or side stuff not related to specifically exploring those areas. However, this week I am going to wait until tomorrow to set the specific details.
