Keeping a Consistent Schedule

ByKathryn Lang

There are days when I need a schedule to help me schedule my schedule and then some reminders to keep in on schedule along the way. Then there are those days when I know exactly what I need to do, when I need to do it and how long it each project will take. I think I have finally figured out what the difference is in those days and I am not happy about what I’ve discovered.

Consistency is the Difference

    • Doing things on a regular basis makes it easier to do those things. I form a habit that keeps me moving along.

    • Doing the things that I know I need to be doing keeps me from doing the things I’m trying not to do.

    • Doing things at the same time on the same day keeps confusion out of the equation. Even my family will know where to find me.

    • Doing things when they need to be done reduces the size of my to-do list making it easier for me to do other things.

Consistency is not really a bad work – it just feels like it on many days (or at least those days when I’m not being consistent). The truth is that I have time to do all that I know I need to do if I just do it. It’s when I procrastinate, do things with out order or just out of order or when I choose to do things other than those in my purpose that I don’t have the time, the energy or the finances to complete anything.

Staying consistent in those things that I know I need to do and following a schedule will help me get to where I want to be.

Writer’s block garners much attention when writers come together. It matters little what industry, what focus, or what level the writers may be. It seems that “block” plagues them all. I defy writer’s block – in part because I don’t believe it exists. I have found that if I write – something, anything, anywhere –…

No more changes. The bruises and scrapes my past had left brought me to a stalemate. If there was something different someone wanted then he would just have to go somewhere else. To paraphrase a semi-famous philosopher, “I was who I was and that’s all that I was.” This is the person that my husband…

Something Changes When You Take the Steps for Change

Nothing changes until something changes, right? And yet, nothing changes, and I still sit here expecting something to change. The same ole same ole won’t cut it if I don’t want the same ole same ole anymore. Early in October, I spoke to the Houston Writers Guild. My only surviving work device had been giving…

  • Thanks for the reminder. Time mgmt is my biggest struggle, and recently the Lord has been impressing on me the need to develop HABITS. Something I always tried to teach my own kids, but still learning myself! So many things we KNOW, but don’t DO…maybe that’s why we need each other (and blogs like this) to ‘verily, verily’ each other.
