What the week holds and planning my days off

I'm one of those people who sit down with my planner on Sundays and look at the week ahead, penciling in projects, chores, down time, and reminders.  I try not to overload my schedule, and truthfully, not all of what I plan actually gets done.  Sometimes I think it looks positive and fun and all, but trust me when I say that is not always the case.  Now that my focus is not on what every. other. person. in my house is doing, and I don't have the distraction of Highlands, I am left with big blocks of time to fill.  So I went back to my habit of leaving no blanks in my planner.


This week, the activities involve working/taking call at the hospital, a telehealth appointment, visiting a new-to-me coffee shop, working on my yards, and volunteering at a wine judging.  All things designed to get my body moving, get some things accomplished, socialize a bit.  I think it all sounds easier than it will be, but that's usually true.  
How do you plan your week and time off?  Inquiring minds want to know!

I tend to plan by the day and then adjust my plan as the day goes by. I knew we were in for miserable weather today so I planned a kitchen day of prepping foods but I'm hoping the nice weather tomorrow will let us a plan a fun outing since my son is on break this week.

My weeks looks a predictable work/gym and blogs; no surprise for me.

I'm still a Mon- Fri 8 AM to 5 PM worker, so I tend to just give myself one "task" per day (above and beyond dishes and laundry). I do need to plan a bit better because I do find my weekends are spent doing chores without a lot of "fun" things. I like the idea of scheduling fun things on my to do list - they might happen then!

However, I also need to make a plan for my weekend days because I am not being as efficient as I could be on those days.

Surprises are over-rated!

I think this is a good plan and I may well adopt it - one thing a day. And definitely schedule you some fun!
