Routine

Kitten Update

Still no kittens today. But I did drive four Husky mix puppies up to Auburn (about one hour away). There's nothing quite as wonderful as four little voices singing AWOO in the back seat. They fell asleep about ten minutes into the drive and were perfect (if a little stinky) passengers until I handed them off to the humane society volunteer who met us at the halfway point.

BookBub Ad Update

$2.82 spent, 1183 impressions, and 0 clicks. This ad is really going swimmingly! Perhaps I should switch to a cost-per-click ad. Or maybe I can just pretend that I'm gaining brand awareness...

Routine

All my life, I have struggled with sticking with a routine. Sometimes I find something that seems to work and I think "Aha! This is it! This is the perfect way to structure my day!" And it is. For about two weeks. And then the routine starts to grate. More time goes by and it gets increasingly hard to follow, until I give it up completely and float a bit until I find another routine that seems to work and the cycle starts all over again.

A couple weeks ago, I was watching this video (Elizabeth Filips How I Study with a Full-Time Job: My Strategic Scheduling). Part of what she's talking about feels like the problems I have with maintaining a routine. But since I don't really make up a set schedule, I haven't really figured out how to implement her suggestions properly.

I don't know. Maybe I'll try making a schedule just for Mondays or something and see how it goes.

Do you have a routine that works for you?
