Finding the Time
I have a fairly busy life. I have a full-time job, a home, and a few hobbies. For fitness I go to the gym and cycle. I also have home maintenance to think about as well as trying to get said home ready to sell. I also have church and friends. Where in the world is IM going to fit? Some of you might be thinking that I should simply NOT try IM, afterall I’ve only made about $23.00 so far. That is simply NOT an option. I want more freedom in my life, I am not content working for someone else. I hate spending one third of my day sitting in a office working for someone else, I am not built for it. That being said I simply HAVE to succeed at IM in order to gain freedom in my daily life.
But the question remains, how will I find the time? There is really nothing in my life that I can give up. It’s not like I spend vast quantities of time watching TV or laying around the house. The only answer I see is to use my time more wisely. To that end here is a schedule proposal that will enable me to do what I need to do each day and still pursue IM.
Weekdays:
- Sleep – 11:30 PM – 5:45 AM
- Workout – 6:00 AM – 7:30 AM
- Eat – 7:30 AM – 7:45 AM
- Work – 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Prep house for sale – 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM
- Eat – 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM
- Personal Time – 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM
- IM – 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM, 12:00 AM or later on Fridays
Saturday:
- Sleep – 12:00 AM – 8:00 AM
- Long Ride – 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- Prep House for Sale – 12:30 PM – 3:00 PM
- Personal Time – 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM
- IM – 9:00 PM – 12:00 PM
Sunday:
- Sleep – 12:00 AM – 8:00 AM
- Church – 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- Ride – 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
- IM – 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
- Personal Time – 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM
- Church – 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- IM – 8:30 PM – 11:30 PM
So that works out to about 18 hours per week that I can devote to IM. I realize that this schedule will get trampled on, but at least I have laid out some guidelines for myself. I was simply wasting too much time. When I am at work the ONLY thing IM-wise I will look at are my account balances
