Ok, obviously I'm falling down on this a bit. I got all of two paragraphs done yesterday. Yeah, not two pages, two paragraphs. Oy. I also need to read and critique three or so manuscripts for an inaugural writing group meeting on Saturday.
So, how do I manage my time? I'll tell you...I don't know. (Thank you Tevye) My first thought is to cut something. Sleep might be what gets cut. I spend seven hours sleeping a night. Luxury! With the sun and summer coming up fast, I might be able to trim that to 5 hours. Green tea, Ginko and Ginseng will be tried to keep me up and at it. Pepsi MAY have to get used as well. Though a sedentary lifestyle and Pepsi isn't going to do my belly any good.
I could quit gaming. No more IM gaming on Monday, no more role-playing/Magic the Gathering on Wednesday. But that means no longer seeing my friends. I'm already seeing my wife less than I'd like, so I don't want to cut any time there, either.
I could forget about the gym or going for hikes, but the truth is I need to work out. And I write better after a good workout.
Anyway, something's got to give. We'll see what I can make happen.
I'm also going to try to use my writing time more productively. No internet or games, just music and the story I'm moving from my head to the page. Wish me luck. :-/
