My tip. Plan less. I used to be in the same situation and I would meticulously plan out each day and fit all the things I wanted to do in neat little boxes in the calendar.

THe problem was that going through that neatly planned schedule took the fun out of all of it. I wasn’t enjoying the things that I had planned, even though they where things that I wanted to do. I was just going through the motions, checking things off.

Today. I try to keep a clear schedule, I don’t try to think of all the things I want to do. I don’t plan too much. Instead I just do the things that I want to do whenever they occur to me.

Keeping a clear schedule makes it more likely that I will actually have the time to do those things.
