Simply Scheduled.
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 by Lindsey
Well, I have about ten minutes before I have to go to work so I decided while I was scarfing down my bagel and trying to down (at least) coffee #1 that I'd write a quick post.
If it hasn't become painfully clear by this point...I like to have things planned. As much as I enjoy spontaneity, for the most part, life seems much simpler if you have a plan -- along with the knowledge that nothing will follow the plan exactly, and allow for deviations.
I've been trying to convince myself for quite sometime to become a morning person. I always enjoy my day more, and feel more productive when I get up early and accomplish something, and get to sleep at a decent time. (And get enough sleep!) Finally, I've come upon a good reason to become a morning person...it also goes hand in hand with my commitment to live a healthier lifestyle. Nathan and I have decided to get up in the mornings during the summer to go for a walk/run/jog/jaunt...whatever. :P I'm really excited about this, just being able to chat with him for 30 minutes before we get our days started sounds like a good plan to me - and jogging/running is one of the best ways to stay in shape. I was going to suggest biking but he'll be biking every morning to the bus station and I figured that was just cruel. It works nicely because I get my re-adjusted schedule, neither of us feel pressured to stay up late, and I'll get the majority of things I need to done in a day before Nathan gets in from his internship.
Last night I was very excited to finally figure out what I needed to jump-start my photography career. I'm working on some posters, and marketing for my plan right now - so I'll definitely have to share that later on tonight.
Don't you love when inspiration strikes?
I'm feeling really good and productive today - I got several loads of laundry done yesterday, got my entire apartment re-arranged and organized -- including moving all of my DVDs into one of those huge 500-disc wallets, and moving all the plastic cases into the back of my storage closet. That freed up space for some of my kitchen stuff on my DVD shelves.
I've already gotten two loads of laundry done this morning too. Hip-hip-hooray for productivity.
I've gotta run to work now, more later.
