Day Planning

A day has 24 hours for everyone. So what makes the difference? The organisation or schedule, the environment, the working methods, our own capacities, what we do (or are able to do).

So, planning our day is very important. Of course, all of our days are not going to be identical but they should have a pretty similar "model". Indeed, every day, everyone need to sleep (enough), to eat (as healthy as possible) and also to be active (manually and intellectually). Sleeping (8h to 10h), eating (2h) and moving (2h) a little take already almost half of the day. It remains then around 12 hours at our disposal to really capitalize.

Morning: 4h (8:00-12:00) 

Noon: 2h (12:00-14:00)

Afternoon: 2h to 4h (14:00-16:00) (16:00-18:00)

Evening: 2h to 4h (18:00-20:00) (20:00-22:00)

 

Moreover, week-ends are different from regular days, holidays are different from working days, and sometimes because of a special events (feasts, night shift, etc.), our schedule can be completely turned upside-down for some time.

In general, people follow the sun cycle to schedule their days. We can notice that most people sleep at night and work during the day when some people work at night and sleep during the day.

With all that being said, here is a "sample" of day planning that I try to follow as often as possible.

1. Wake-up (breakfast, etc.)

Possible hours : (school : 6am-7am ; week-ends and holidays : 8am-9am)

2. Morning (8:00-12:00): morning 1 - morning break - morning 2 (various activities)

Possible hours (2h, 30min, 1h30, 30min) : 8am-10am + 10am-10:30am + 10:30am-12:00am  + 12:00am-12:30pm  

3. Noon break (lunch, etc.) 

Possible hours (1:30) : 12:30pm-2pm 

4. Afternoon (14:00-18:00): afternoon 1 - afternoon break - afternoon 2 (various activities)

Possible hours (2h, 30min, 1h, 30min) : 2pm-4pm + 4pm-4:30pm + 4:30pm-5:30pm + 5:30pm-6pm

5. Day break (pick up the kids, shower, homeworks, diner, various activities)

Possible hours (2 hours, 2 hours) : 4pm-6pm + 6pm-8pm 

6. Evening (various activities : manual or intellectual)

Possible hours (2 hours) : 8pm-10pm 

7. Sleeping (brushing teeth, etc.)

Possible hours : (school : 9pm-10pm ; week-ends and holidays : 10pm-11pm)  

8. Dawn (various activities : manual or intellectual)

Possible hours(1hour or 2hours) : 6am-7am or 5am-7am
