I mapped out my week in 15 minute intervals, and today is the first day implementing a self imposed schedule. In all actuality, charting out my time this way isn’t a foreign concept; I and most others do a form of this every day in our heads as we go, almost like mental math. But just like mental math, there’s a lot more room for error and oversight that can be eliminated by just writing the numbers down. There’s also the added benefit of accountability; even if there is no immediate consequence of me missing an event, having my intention written down in an easy to digest format gives me incentive to stay the course and not just give up the entire day the moment I miss one event.
