I have my RA project, my project class project, 2 online classes through Stanford, 3 non-online classes, and then the things I’d like to do. It cashes out as 70-80 hours of work a week if I do as much as I should for everything.
I think my project for this week is trying to schedule everything effectively, and (relatedly) work on motivation management techniques to make sure that work is being done ahead of time instead of behind schedule. It’s easy for me to crunch and finish everything that needs to be done today, at the cost of taking tomorrow off- which, if I haven’t budgeted for that, will then put me behind, and things snowball. So I want to make sure that doesn’t happen.
The worst thing about it is that everything is simultaneous. I think I would be fine pulling 60 hour weeks working on one thing until it’s done, then moving onto the next one, but having many different things that each want 10 hours a week is rough.
Too many things.
