#Weekly work schedule template 2018 how to#

I am currently on a 1-1-0 teaching load, which is really very healthy and lucky for me. If you notice, I have left ample time for administrative stuff and for meetings during normal hours. Nobody can schedule time for THEIR activities when it’s MY time. I follow the same philosophy when I book time for my friends and for my family, as well as for my own health. And I booked time for him that nobody else would every overlap with (that was, for me, the only way to maintain a healthy relationship). For years, my partner and I shared our online calendars, because that made it easier for him and for me to plan our time together. This enables me to know what I am doing anywhere at any point in time. My schedule is online, and sync’d with my iPod Touch and with my HP TouchPad. All the while, of course, while maintaining sanity.

That was the only way I could play competitive volleyball, teach dance, do theatre, volunteer running literacy programs and teaching adults how to read and write, hang out with my friends, spend time with my family and still maintain a high average in school.

My life is, and has always been, scheduled to the very minute. I had a similar template for my life when I was a consultant and when I worked in the NGO world. Even before I ever read Tanya’s blog, I learned to be organized with my life.

It was nice to see a couple of other scholars ( Eric Grollman and Jan in the Pan) write theirs. What you see above is my weekly template for the Fall 2013 semester (this is a term coined by Tanya Golash-Boza, whose blog I read religiously). I knew I wanted to do academic research and that I wanted to complete a PhD and thus I needed to plan my life accordingly. I learned early in my life that I had a really broad range of interests, and that if I didn’t rein in my own impulses, I would be scattered and disoriented before long. While I feel enormously flattered, I don’t think I am particularly productive. A lot of people have asked me through the year how I accomplish as much as I do.
