Some days it feels good to take control of my life. Of course, taking control means I need to have some idea about what I want to change. Tonight, the effort is being less bored in my evenings for the rest of the week.
My work schedule has changed dramatically over the last few months and now i am finding that where I was once committed to work many evenings during the week, I am now faced with empty blocks of time. While the money was nice, the hours have shifted into a more “traditional” 9-5 time-frame.
So, more free time sounds nice, and it is. Until the realization hits that I have no idea what to do with the time, now that it is here. (And I feel lethargic and bored at the end of the day…a potentially dangerous combination to the in-progress budget.) So, in order to deal with that, I am making an effort to reach out to people I haven’t seen in a while earlier in the day, when I have energy.
We’ll see how it goes. The goal is to have enough plans that I feel engaged, without feeling overwhelmed and still have enough time for myself.
