On Monday I sat down and made myself a new schedule on my gmail calendar. Have I mentioned how much I love my gmail calendar? I’ve got it set to give me reminders via e-mail, SMS, and pop-ups at various times. I also have nice color coding of my activities:

But, yesterday morning I overslept, meaning it was noon before I ate and got it together enough to get anything done. No chores for me. I was on time for my student, but since I was hungry by the time I got to the grocery store (an errand that shows up below the bottom of the screenshot), I was distracted and it took much longer than it should have. By the time I came home and ate supper, I was hungry and tired, and wound up missing the reminder to go work on art.
Then I got distracted by the internet.
I’m frustrated, but I’m going to try sticking to this for a few days and see what happens. Today has been good so far — worked out, got chores done, writing this post — and now it’s just about time to shift gears and hit the studio.
