time for me

Recently, grinninfoole and I decided to make Thursday evenings a time that we carve out just for ourselves. We also just last weekend resigned from a game on Sundays with this aim in mind.

It occurs to me that another piece in this puzzle is carving out time for me. I tend to find said time on the fly, in the moment, which often means I don't find much time at all, and certainly not in a consistent, predictable way.

So yesterday, I made a new resolution to schedule that time for myself. It's going to be tricky. I'm not good with scheduling. My ego loves structure, but my id rebels against it. However, my id does nothing with its victories that satisfies me.

Now, my usual MO when I have an insight like this is to go crazy and spend all this time thinking about it and wrapping myself up in making a detailed schedule that I then don't look at again. I think I need to take things a bit more slowly, a bit at a time, so that it "sticks."

God, I wish organizational skills came to me naturally.
