Day 20 cont.
My perfect day
Sooo... I was supposed to write about time management. So here it comes. I want to describe how my perfect day would look like, a subject bound to change when hit with reality and new ideas. Just as a disclaimer it's something I aim towards and had mixed successes in applying. I also assume nothing will bother me on that day, so no social stuff or other obligations.
So, I wake up at 6 and go to work at 7. I may wake up at 7 and go to work at 8 without hating myself though.
I stay at work until 15, if there is little work then until 13. That gives me somewhere between 5 and 8 hours I spend at workplace. Normally its more than enough, especially given that I will often have to do slow and tedious but requiring little mind work and I'd rather do that at home, multitasking that with reading or YouTube or whatever. However, whatever happens, I HAVE TO spend at least these 5 hours there. If there is little useful I can do I can always work on my side projects or even do some of my own personal reading at work.
I eat a dinner, get some rest and go for a walk. Let's say 1.5 hours of rest and 2 hours of walk. That leaves me free somewhere around 17 or 18. Of course I cannot always go for a walk as it may be raining for example. Then my free time starts as soon as I get back from work. Also, if I cannot go for a walk I'm more likely to stay longer at work.
As I will have to go to sleep at around 23 to get at least 7 hours of sleep this leaves me with about 6 hours of free time. In that time I have to do my exercises, do some reading, follow what's new on YouTube (most of it is educational or news of some sorts), go to supermarket for some supplies and wash myself. OK, so around 3 hours of completely free time. The problem is that free time comes with chunks, not one huge package. Because of that right now I spend this time on things that require little attention, that I can leave and come back to at any time.
It may sounds silly but I'd love to play some video games. As long as you're conscious about this they are a great source of accomplishment, just don't substitute this for real-life accomplishments. And to be able to play it needs to be done at one go, it's hard to play 20 minutes, stop, play 15 minutes, stop again etc. 8-12 hours I spend on work and workout leave me with enough accomplishment as it is, I want this to be my way to relax.
This is something I will work on in the future - optimizing my free time. The better quality that is, the more productive I'll be when it's needed. I don't need more time, in fact recently when I was free at 14 I felt bored and aimless. I have to learn however how to use it better.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
