Revised My Work Schedule.

Okay, so I had a work schedule that only consisted of “Monday through Friday” and “1pm to 9pm” and that’s it. I was pretty much "on my own" for my breaks, wrapping up, etc., and I put that in quotes because I’m on my own regardless, since it’s MY schedule lol. But it was almost as if I was telling myself to work for 8 straight hours. Well, I decided to revise my schedule to add preparation, breaks, wrap-up and whatnot because it may help me to stay on track, especially since I’ve added three breaks (two short breaks and one longer break). Here’s part of my schedule, to give you an idea of how I have it set up: "- Check Email, Set Up Work, Etc.: 12:30pm. - Start Working: 1pm. - Short Break (Exercise, Relax Eyes, Etc.): 2:30pm-2:45/3pm. - Back To Work: 3pm. - Longer Break (Exercise, Relax Eyes, Etc.): 4:30pm-5:30pm. - Back To Work: 5:30pm." This way, I’ll pretty much train my brain to know WHEN it’s time to work and when it’s time to take a break. I’ll start wrapping things up around 8:45pm, and then I’m off work at 9pm. As I change up my work hours in the future (i.e., 12:30pm-8:30pm, 12pm-8pm, etc.), I’ll readjust my work schedule. So, I’m hoping this helps me to be more productive because I’m really trying to get on a better routine. I have my schedule written out and placed on my desk, and it's saved on a Google Docs document. I’ll be back soon. Take care. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay

Good luck with the new schedule. Breaks are important.

Thank yoooou! :) And agreed. I'll take breaks, but I think designating a timeslot will keep me from either working throughout the break or extending the shorter breaks (unless I'm not feeling well or something).
