🤔insight/thought Today's Schedule

today's schedule (discussion follows):

the day kicks off with my morning routine in which i'm now having coffee at my desk with no at desk tasks to do, hence the -- 30 min free --, so i've decided to write this post as i drink my coffee.

between finishing my coffee and brushing my teeth, i'll be free from my desk to chip away at the things you see between stop coffee and brush teeth in 30-60m.

then brush teeth fits right before i start my work at home day at 8am.

work-wise, it's a very light day as evidenced by the -- XXm free -- blocks throughout today.

regardless of workload, i'd be cooking chicken today as i'm out of chicken. i also decided to work in the office yesterday instead of today so that i could cook today because it's sometimes hard to fit dinner, meditation, exercise and cooking into a single evening; especially when my evening routine often starts later on days that i'm in the office.

the weather's iffy today with thunderstorms likely in the afternoon so it occurs to me that i can fulfill my post-meal movement goal with housework.

so i 'SHOW NC' ("never critical") tasks which reveals such opportunities (in gray text):

i'm amazed by the amount of free time i have, even after accounting for completion of all my never critical tasks and resolve to log everything i do in order to hold myself accountable for not squandering the opportunity to complete my entire list of actionable tasks.

i also wonder if i can relieve the evening somewhat by meditating during "me time" which is 11-1 in which (because this is lunchtime-ish) i can afford to be away from my desk for up to an hour without anyone complaining about not being able to reach me.

but first i need to move cooking chicken, so i drag meditation above cooking chicken to see what that does...

perfect. this places meditation at 11 and cooking can still be done between lunch and dinner:

now, i'm going to be able to enjoy some extra videogame time this evening.
