How I Spend My Time (*^-^*)

Today, I will write about "Time is limited! How I spend my time" .

My husband is often away on business trips, but this summer he is working from home, so our days look like this 😃💦

What kind of day are you all spending? ❔

My average daily schedule (^o^)v

Today, I will write out my average daily schedule!

<Morning Session>

⌚4:30 - 5:00 "Good morning!"

⌚5:00 - "Checking and posting on Twitter, note, Facebook, emails, etc."

⌚6:00 - "Starting the laundry, making breakfast and bento, taking out the trash, etc."
⇒Husband's breakfast⇒"Have a good day ((🙋"

⌚7:15 - "My breakfast & morning drama time (^_-)-☆" Posting tweets on Twitter and note, and also giving likes and comments.

⌚8:00 - "Washing dishes, hanging out laundry, cleaning, etc."

⌚8:30 - "Farm work/garden work" & shower & break while checking SNS💦😃💦 Sometimes posting!

⌚12:00 - "Lunch" (prepared at the same time as my husband's bento)
After lunch, sometimes a nap☀️😪💤

So, basically, the morning is spent on housework, garden work, and checking SNS💦💦

<Afternoon Session>

The afternoon varies depending on the day, but basically it is as follows‼️

⌚13:00
I often go out for shopping, doctor visits, Mercari shipments, or taking my mother to the hospital.
(When I don't go out, I write on note or work on assignments!)

⌚15:00
Bringing in and folding laundry (while watching TV ← mystery shows), cleaning the bath.

Going out to the field again in the evening to water the plants😅
(In the meantime, I might write on note, study for courses, have Zoom consultations, or go to Curves😅😃💦)

⌚17:00 - "Dinner preparation"
Once I finish the preparations, I have free time until my husband returns (around 19:00). (I'm usually writing on note or working on assignments✨)

⌚Around 7:00 PM - Husband returns home, "dinner" & cleanup, washing dishes, preparing breakfast & lunch boxes, sometimes watching TV or YouTube

⌚After 8:30 PM - "Bath time", depending on the day, there might be a "Zoom lecture" or similar

⌚Between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM - "Good night!"
(If there is a Zoom session, I end up going to bed late 😅)

If I have nothing on at night, I often go to bed before 9:00 PM, so I'm actually not very good at evening events 😱😱

When I'm too tired, I sometimes fall asleep around 8:00 PM and wake up in the middle of the night ((+_+))

Sometimes I write 'likes' and comments in the middle of the night when that happens <m(__)m>

<Others>

◎ If I go to the hospital in the morning (I go to the orthopedic clinic every Monday), yoga (Wednesday), or Curves, I adjust my garden work time in the evening ⇒ which means it gets longer (lol) 💦

◎ Thursdays are for the supermarket with a 10% discount ✨
At that time, I remove the film from plastic bottles, wash them, and also bring washed plastic bottle caps. (There is a corner for this at the supermarket‼️)
I also wash, open, and dry milk cartons to bring them along (^^♪

◎ Since they do resource collection, I wash and separate aluminum cans and steel cans.
I also bundle up cardboard and newspapers to take with me.

◎ Since it became summer and the vegetable garden got busy, I haven't been able to go to Curves much 💦

◎ Sometimes when I have a 4-hour temp job, it's a rush ((+_+))
Now that I have to look after my mother, I mostly decline them!

That's roughly my daily life 😃💦

⌚Time is limited‼️ My efficient way of using time⌚

In my daily schedule like this, I want to use my time as efficiently as possible, so I am conscious of the following

↓↓↓

① As soon as a plan is decided, write it in the smartphone schedule app

② Understand the next day's schedule before going to bed (I'd like to try writing a 3-line diary reflecting on the day here!)

③ When I wake up, understand today's schedule and post the plan on note or Twitter (sometimes I can't, but I keep track of the tasks)

④ Make daily time usage a habit (I check the time referring to the schedule above 💦)

⑤ Use my smartphone during spare time to leave article drafts like memos (Since I started this, I've been able to keep several draft articles 💦)

⑥ Don't put things off as much as possible ⇒ Don't leave things for later!
(For example, if I go to bed without washing the dishes after dinner, the morning will be a disaster 💦)

⑦ Plan and review schedules on a monthly and weekly basis
(In my case, it's the 'note Improvement Committee')

☆ Daily life is a repetition of these ① to ⑦ ✨ ☆

☆Working on big dreams and goals☆

Big dreams and this year's goals ⇒ goals for about 3 months ⇒ monthly goals, from there ⇒ weekly plans ⇒ daily plans
from there
⇒ weekly plans ⇒ daily plans

For now, I've decided how I want to spend my time while thinking about various milestones in my own way (^o^)v

I think it's fine to just walk at a pace I'm satisfied with, while loosely rethinking things and changing plans as I go (^^♪

My basic approach is to challenge myself and do my best within my own means, without sacrificing my family or daily life❗

However, I also believe there is a time for challenging yourself and learning.
I think it's also important to judge that "timing"!

<Things I'm working on/thinking of working on💦>

① Learning and practicing for the "Ohitorisama (Solo) Certification" (until the end of October)

② Personal consulting with Manabu Nakamori (until the end of September)

③ Exhibiting at a Marche (still not enough preparation, will I make it?・・?) (August 22nd)
⇒ I'll write an announcement post💦💦

⌚Looking back⌚

When I write it out like this, I sometimes think, "Wow, I might be amazing for writing on note, taking on new challenges, and doing housework, taking care of my mother, and going to hospital visits all at the same time"❔
(*^-^*) ← Also known as patting myself on the back (lol)

I don't have children to raise right now, and I'm free if you call it free, but I also think, "I have a lot to do as a housewife and with my home garden"💦💦

But still, I really respect the people on note who work, raise children, do housework, and write on note too...‼️

In that sense, I think we (especially women?) are all doing our best (^^)/

Of course, there are many things we do because they're fun, right!

It's the best if you're enjoying it!!

But...

Sometimes

◎ I worry about how to spend my time
◎ I worry about how to engage with note
◎ I struggle with inner conflict

and things like that✨

I think that is only natural (*^-^*)

At times like that, before you think "I can't take it anymore!" (or even after you think it), instead of resetting everything to zero and stopping,

I think it is important to consider priorities, leave things for a while, or think about stopping for a short time♬

Anyway, life is precious, so don't push yourself!

This moment right now is also important!

Instead of sacrificing the present, I recommend taking a step back and making decisions and choices slowly (^_-)-☆

At that time, there are things you want to do but cannot.
Because time is limited...
And that is fine (*^-^*)
Let's cherish ourselves!!

When the time comes that you can do it again, you can just do it then, right? 💛

☆Bonus☆

A discovery about how to write notes!

Maybe everyone is already doing this (lol)
I recently learned this method and feel a small sense of excitement ✨


↓↓↓

Draft on smartphone (even just as notes of what you think)

⇒ Check on PC (attach headers and photos)

⇒ Check the article on smartphone

⇒ Post on PC!

Since I started doing this, I no longer feel the burden of opening my PC and thinking, "Okay, time to write," and I have been able to continue posting every day.

Also, since I review it multiple times on my smartphone and PC, the number of corrections has decreased (^o^)v

Life's time is also limited!
Because this moment right now will never come back again,
let's use our time wisely!

Thank you for reading again today <m(__)m>

・・・・・A little report (lol)・・・・

I was finally able to use Canva!!
Today's header is also handmade (^o^)v

This was also thanks to guidance from Mr./Ms. Nakamori (*^-^*)
I will try a little harder to be able to master it!!

My mother was discharged from the hospital today! ＼(^_^)／

So we are having a toast with sushi! 🍻
