30-Day Writing Challenge: Day 16

16. Bullet your entire day.

My days vary depending on the day of the week and time of year. I don’t teach on Mondays, so here’s my schedule for today.

Wake up.
Think of plot ideas while showering.
Go downstairs. Have espresso and a banana while reading email, etc.
Go to work.
Deal with 10,000 problems.
Have meeting with someone I’d rather not.
Deal with more problems.
Go home for late lunch.
Email and social media.
Greet kids when they get home. Point them toward homework.
Listen to audiobook (Spook Squad!) while I do my daily walk.
Tell students I won’t round 78.3% up to a B.
Grade stray term papers.
Watch husband make dinner. Eat with family.
Convince husband or kid to go for evening walk.
More email and social media, plus various small work tasks.
Write (sequel to Love Can’t Conquer)
Eat dessert (this is important)
Go to bed
Think of 30 things I absolutely must do in the morning. Write them down (I keep a notepad by the bed).
Sleep.

You’ll notice there’s not a lot of housework going on in that list, plus I don’t watch TV.
