Gaming | Schedule

Personally I should be managing my time better. I spend too much time sometimes on the Homescapes game, and maybe have spent a bit more than I should for the in-game purchases. It is perhaps modest $20 per month compared to this but still unnecessary. 

Right now I am trying this:

Mornings (6-9am): work on PhD > Weekends 9-12am

9am-5pm: work hours

12-2am: PhD again

The rest of the time will be filled in with cooking, cleaning, washing (etc). 

Once a month take one full day of 'nothing' and rest the mind.

I am learning Chinese on duolingo and that takes about 5 mins a day. Quite manageable.

The writing for PhD however, is major. A lot of reading. A lot of thinking. A lot of editing (my supervisor says I edit too much!). I will finish it on time and carry on with my life after that. I must!

In short the gaming time can be shortened. 5 mins per day like duolingo. Instead of a couple of hours, which is arguably better spent washing or cleaning or cooking or being with the children! [There probably should be another entry on how to be a good mother when you're career-focused or while doing your Phd, but I am not that mother]😭
