I'm sitting here in my apartment reflecting on the day, wasting time on Facebook, listening to iTunes, and waiting for the next load of laundry to get done. As my thoughts are gathering a couple things become clear: 1) I haven't devoted time in a long while to writing forecasts and 2) I've consistently stayed up later than 3 am which usually leaves me waking up after 10 or 11 am.
Okay, now the first justification that comes to mind is that I don't have any plans on any given day. I'm not sure I can accept this as an excuse anymore. I know there's a lot more I can do with my time. Afterall, there is that trilogy I've been working on. Thus it's time to formulate a plan. A real doable plan for every day that I can do that is within my skill set. So here goes.
I want to set myself a goal of spending my mornings writing forecasts. I've had a blog for some time that I've used for meteorological purposes and in the past has filled empty hours and I have to say that I've begun improving my forecasting skill. Nonetheless, I think now is the time to start posting weather forecasts on a more frequent basis. Must also note too that this past week has been busy with chasing storms around Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa and this has also prompted me to start thinking about publishing forecasts online again.
I'm thinking this is a good place as any to start feeding my recent craving to begin ordering my day. So we'll see how it goes. So I guess come Monday morning I'm going to get my feet wet again in forecasting and spend the rest of the day checking up on job applications and writing. Of course I may have plans with a friend, but if I don't have plans then I'll try to make myself busy until late afternoon/early evening.
