Keeping to a schedule

On working from home...

Making a schedule
The worst aspect is sticking to a schedule.
There are so many things waiting to grab attention like a blood-sucking leech.
The stuff that came back with me, on the last day at my old workplace is still mocking at me from my cupboard. No time to open up that plastic bag full of memories and put them into their rightful place.

My life can get along fine without having that bag cleared out. Just like windows can do without dusting or that shoe rack can remain disorganised. My daily schedule is set and I am planning to stick to it.

Making the schedule sticky..

The schedule has to "Work", or there is no way I can stick to it. Morning is for "home" activities. Afternoon to evening is for work. This schedule goes for a toss only if absolutely necessary - like taking my kid to the doctor. Even then the time has to be adjusted on another day.

It has been working for a while now, with good progress. I feel more work-oriented since business related work starts at the same time. There is less tendency to slack off or take an off. There is a timetable up, which lists all that needs to be done. No dates put against the list yet. That may need to be done soon.

Deadline it
Have DEADLINES and SCHEDULES and stick to them. Your boss in office wouldnt stand for you to give excuses. You are your own boss. Don't stand it from yourself!
