This morning, however, I awoke with no schedule and ... well ... I felt a bit lost. It took me a long time to get out of bed, let alone get ready for the day. Once I was dressed, I still just lazed around, not getting anything accomplished. I know that part of that has been due to how busy the house has been today, but I think a greater problem has been my overall lack of drive. Sure, I know that I deserve a bit of a break, but I didn't even start writing this post (let alone the post for the day before) until after midnight when everyone was asleep (I'm waiting for Trevor's "new" computer, which is mostly made from mine--and thus my brother's--old computer, to finish some "cleaning" tasks). [That was rather convoluted, which suggests that I should probably head to bed pretty soon].
I need to make a schedule for myself if I plan on getting anything accomplished in the next couple of months. I (as always) would like to do some writing. In this case, I plan on polishing Dragon Hunter and getting it self-published (yes, I know that was on last year's list, but I'm really going to do it this time), starting an Ed.D. program online, taking at least one trip out West, getting the Island Adventure forward planned to at least level 20, working on some changes to my World History and AP World History classes, and beating at least three video games that I haven't beaten before.
I know that to do this, I will need to set up a daily schedule, something to guide me (but not overly restrict me) through each day. Hopefully, I can motivate myself to do even more, while also not beating myself up for not meeting all of my goals. We will see.
