If I carry on like this I am not going to get the grade I want, so, inspired by JimJamJenny, tonight I am making the decision to impose some harsh rules on how I spend my time – phase one begins now, and finishes next Sunday, when the situation will be reviewed.

The plan involves daily targets, 48-hour targets (which are expansions of Daily targets to allow flexibility when necessary) and weekly targets.

For example:

Every day:

• meditate for 20 mins
• exercise for 20 mins
• Write Japanese for 20 mins (minimum)
• Read Japanese for 20 mins (minimum)
• Kanji: 30 mins (minimum)
• (Eat properly, drink water, sleep by 11.30pm, up 6am)

Every 2 Days

• 3 hours kanji
• 1 hour writing Japanese
• 1 hour reading Japanese
• 30 mins grammar
• 2 hours on Society and Culture module
• 2 hours on Chinese environment module

Every week

• Cycle for at least 90 mins
• Website work (not including Blog): 3 hours max
• CILASS 1 ~ 4 hours per week

In addition to this

• Only check emails twice a day, max email session 30 mins (includes japansoc email writing)
• Maximum of 2 blogs per week, not more than 45 minutes writing a mumble.

Wish me luck!
