Dear /adv/,
I lead a life of many variables. Due to the nature of my work as well as my ever-changing personal life, a lot of my days (but not all of them) are structured differently. In example: I might work 9 to 5 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, but on Wednesday I don't work at all and have to do 3 hours of X, 2 hours of Y and then next 3 hours of Z. Then on Friday I don't have to do anything.
So the problem is, this keeps me disorganized as fuck and I often end up just wasting my time. I've tried scheduling days to make sure they're varied but organized. It doesn't work because random shit happens, from an evening movie to a whole day out helping out a friend.
Do you know what could help me? An elastic scheduling technique, maybe an app that's smart enough to reschedule shit when I need it to?
If you gotta get something done now, do it first.
If you gotta get something done later, do it after you take care of things you need to do now.
Rinse and repeat. Scheduling is only good for when a lot of things need to happen in a short amount of time, which is rare. Prioritizing is key.
