the list

so, while attmpting to organize my belongings, i was inspired to attempt reorganizing my life in general, and starting school again seems like a good opportunity. and to do so i have chosen ten categories, ranked them, and chosen amounts of time per week to allot to each. the times are estimates, and items which necessitate more time can take time only from areas given lower priority ranking...ideally at least... haha.


(1) attending church: 3.5 hours (includes a buffer for getting there a bit early, some socialization afterward, and travel time)

(2) reading scriptures: 3 hours

(3) attending classes: 20 hours (including commuting time, but not time between classes)

(4) attending institute: 2 hours(hopefully including travel time...need to get some more details on that one)

(5) studying: 30 hours (the estimate they give for BYU undergrads is 2 hours out for every hour in...i'm using that as a rough estimate, but i know this may be a lowball...it is law school after all...argh...)

(6) personal grooming: 15 hours (yeah, i know that seems like a lot of time, but i've decided that i need to do some de-uglifying and de-frumpifying if i'm going to pull of this i'm the shiz thing...)

(7) exercise: 4 hours (not much, i know, but i'm lazy and unathletic...this would be good for me...maybe i'll up it if i can...i'm thinking about trying the studying on a treadmill bit or something...??)

(8) social/free/misc: 24 hours (seems like a lot, but there's a lot of random things to do during the day... this would also include ward/ysa activities, talking to friends/family on the phone or im or whatever...reading the board, random online stuff, email....and acts as a free time buffer when moving from one activity to another...really not that much after all...oh, and some dates maybe? uuh...that's why i put #6&7 above this one...haha)

(9) sleeping: 56 hours (just your typical 8 hrs a night...got a feeling this will be an area i steal from a lot...just check the time this is posting to see how that works...)

(10) eating: 10.5 (30 min per meal... seems doable...at the end of the list because i have a love/hate relationship with food...i love it, and i hate myself for it...so if i can keep busy enough maybe i won't eat so much, which would probably make #s 6&7 more effective...haha)


anyway... this is just sort of a goal i guess. we'll see how it works in practice. hopefully i can make use of some multitasking as well... the exercising while studying idea... or eating while on a date or studying...or studying on a date? haha! ...what about studying while sleeping :P that would be nice...
