This week has been a doozy. I had my last day of work/effectively lost my job on Friday--which was interesting enough, fairly amicable, and resulted in a free lunch and lots of people indignant on my behalf (which was kind of heartwarming). This is a bit of a problem just because I don't have anything lined up yet, and I was basically living paycheck to paycheck anyway. I'm optimistic that I'll be able to find something, or at least fill in the gaps as much as possible, in the interim, but I'm also hoping I can find some work soon. I'm sure there's another 10% or more of the population that's hoping the same thing.

Anyway, I've found that, even though I don't have a day job to fill my days, I've still got plenty going on. My newest dilemma: how do I manage it all? Between yoga and other healthful pursuits, school ramping up, freelance type of stuff, choreography, teaching, job hunting, and travel (EBC coming up will be my 4th weekend in a row out of town), I've got a lot to do lately.

I tend to schedule my days already, but the schedule is in estimates, not in absolutes. Then, when that day comes around, I have a few set appointments and fill in the in-between times with other activities I have to get done--but not always very efficiently. To-do lists help, of course, and so do incentives (window shopping or a brief break with tea and a book), but I can always improve. What do you do to keep yourself on track? How do you schedule your days, or do you find that it's easier to play it all by ear? I'd love to hear how everybody else does it :)
