Ok, now that I’ve got your attention, here’s the deal.

This is my daily schedule.  I admit that to some extent it is ummm, fluid dynamic.  With that said, I try to adhere to it as much as possible.  It helps to keep me organized and provides a little structure.  No one else is telling me what to do with my time, so it may as well be me.

First, I have to confess that I am one of “those people”.  That’s right.  A morning person.  Wait!  Don’t leave yet!  Other than that, I’m really an OK guy.  I have the most energy and do my best work early in the day.

I want to see yours.  Show me what you got.  Bring it on.  I want to know if you have a daily schedule that you try to stick with, or do you just take each day/project as it comes.  If you don’t have a daily schedule, then how do you organize your time?  Do you have commitments fall through or do you use another method to ensure their completion?

5:00am – Mr Alarm starts buzzin’.  Stumble up for java and head to the office (37 steps from the kitchen as I recall)

5:30 – 6:30 – Open Outlook and see what the email Gods have dropped in my box

6:30 – 7:30 – Review my feeds and comment as appropriate

7:30 – 8:00 – Peruse the freelance writing job sites for any new leads

8:00 – 10:00 – Work on current blog commitments

10:00 – Noon – Any large/continuing projects

Noon – Noon30 – Stumble, poke around the web

One-ish to Three-ish – My writing time.  Work on the novel, short stories, contests

Three-ish until I’m tired of staring at the monitor – Back to any large or continuing projects

Throughout the day, I’m checking emails and responding appropriately (sometimes inappropriately he-he).

I don’t want to give the wrong impression so please don’t picture me sitting in front of my computer the whole time.  I let the dogs out, grab a bite, head to the store – every day life kind of things.

For the most part, I really try to stick to this.  It seems to be working so far.

So, post ‘em if ya got ‘em.  Let’s see those schedules
