This Plan Has Totally Worked

[livingdeb]

I just realized I have something planned every single weeknight of the week on a regular basis:

Monday: dinner with sister
Tuesday: "body flow" gym class with up to two friends
Wednesday: private dance lessons
Thursday: group dance lessons
Friday: gym date with up to two friends (no longer also doing additional group dance lessons)

When I first got a real full-time permanent job, I went out of my way to schedule things for weekday evenings because I didn't get enough fun at work and I wanted to make sure to have some fun every day.

Well, this plan has totally worked was a great idea, but now it has gotten to the point where I look forward to my free time more than to my scheduled time. Because then I get to watch movies! Have smooching! Play on the web! Think that I'm going to sleep early (and occasionally actually do it)! Read! Catch up on laundry! Cook something delicious that will last me all week!

So have you thought about scheduling personal time?

I don't even know how to do that. You mean like write something down in a calendar that says "read" or something? And if something else fun comes up, I can't do the something else because I have scheduled personal time? Bleh, not interested.
