The Importance of Schedules


Today, I am starting my second day of classes at UNK.  I have figured out already how important it is to have a daily schedule.  Being a gymnast my whole life, structure was never a problem.  I always got up, went to school, went to the gym, coached, practiced, went home, showered, went to bed.  That’s what I did every day for five six years! Even when I was at BYU, I had a similar schedule.  Now that I don’t do gymnastics, I have trouble filling my day up.  Yesterday I seriously did nothing.  I got back from class and lay around all day watching Bunheads!  I could have easily got up and went for a run or go back to campus and lift weights.  I noticed the same thing during summer.   When I didn’t babysit, I slept in longer than I needed too and was lazy all day.  Sunday was running day for Linden and I and our good friend Anna.  Other than Sunday, my workouts were not very consistent. 
                Balance is so important in life.  This semester, my goal is to keep a schedule and stick with it.  I know I will go crazy if I sit around all day studying or watching an entire television series. (Yes, I watched every single episode of Bunheads yesterday!)  I also can’t spend my day in the gym wasting time.  So at the bottom of this post I will put my daily weekday schedule.  I encourage you all to do the same.  You will be surprised the amount of stress that is taken out of your life!  Thanks for reading! :)
