Schedules

Hello Internet!

I'm still on training at my new job and some of my coworkers and I were discussing our hours and who we were training with and stuff like that. I opened my folder to see that my schedule wasn't in there, and I had a mini heart attack. I didn't have it with me because it's currently sitting on my desk in my room next to me.  Luckily I have an electronic copy saved on my desktop, so I was able to look at my schedule.

That feeling of a mini-heart-attack over a schedule is new to me. 

I have never been one to be tied to schedules and planners. I want to live in the moment and be spontaneous. Schedules are something that hang on the fridge after you mom makes you print it out. 

Now, though, I seem to be looking at schedules and writing them down more and more. Yes, I still want to live in the moment, but I also want to manage my time more effectively and be organized. So after 21 years of life, I've decided that schedules are good. 

I've already been keeping track of my work schedules, so now I want to try a few more. 

First, I want to write more which means this blog is going to have a proper schedule. I don't want to say that I'm going to write in here once a week, that's too broad and it just means that the deadline is extended till the next day if I don't do it. So "Dancing Through Life" will have new posts every Tuesday. We are going to start off small, once a week, and see how that goes; then maybe it will be increased to two or three times a week. 

Secondly, my YouTube channel has been all over the place. Sometimes I'm too excited to put up my next video that I don't care if I upload two in one day or one every day. Then there are those weeks where nothing gets uploaded. I don't like that I want to be consistent in content I put out there and want to work on getting better at what I do. I do it because I love and I want to be proud of more of the things I put out into the world. So I'm going to shoot for a new video every Sunday. And again, we will see how it goes and then maybe the number will be increased. I want to work on sketches and things and hopefully having a projected idea of when I can put out what will make that easier. I have a whole notebook of things I haven't done yet so we will see where this takes us. 

Now, I have a question for you guys. Do you guys live by a schedule? & If so, how does it work out for you?

I'm just secretly hoping that if I set these scheduling goals for myself I can meet them, and if I can't I wont get down on myself & feel like a failure. 

Tell me what you guys think. I'd love to hear from you.
