May. 23rd, 2006 07:58 amOK, so here's the schedule I came up with.
6.30: up, feed cats, stretch
7.00: cycle (an hour only because, unless I only want to ride around my neighborhood, I need travel time--it seems silly to drive somewhere to ride a bike, but the road out of my neighborhood is simply not safe to bike on--one lane each way, no shoulder, and ditches or worse on either side), especially not a novice and not during morning rush hour)
8.00: shower, breakfast
8.45: commute
9.30 to 6.30: work
6.30: commute
7.15: errands, go home, make dinner, feed cats, hobbies, telly
10.45: tea, book, bed
11.30 to 6.30: sleep
Since I only take half an hour for lunch, that gives me 8.5 hours to bill every day, so I can take off a bit early on Mondays (for FOW night) and Tuesdays (for my weekly with Peter and Bryan) and still come out at 40/week.If I have to do errands during the day, that just takes a bit of time out of the ~3 hours I have at home in the evening.
The problem is that it's hard to fit my (preposterously time-consuming) correspondence with friends and relatives into that schedule. I can easily spend an hour or two in the morning reading and writing mail and making journal entries (like this one). I can't push that off to the middle of the day--I do too much of that at work as it is.
Quandry.
