Personal Narrative: My Schedule

My Schedule

If you take time to look around, you will notice that people always appear to be busy. Soccer practices, recitals, jobs and meetings are just a few of a person’s daily obligations. A schedule can be a big help in organizing a person’s time. Schedules help people live a more efficient and productive life. Any free time someone may have available seems to quickly vanish. When we realize that we have free time, we tend to use that time as an opportunity to get more of our responsibilities done, rather than using it for something we will enjoy and find relaxing. If this becomes a habit, our schedules will quickly become jam-packed. If we do not take the opportunity to use our personal time for ourselves, we may quickly burn out and become unhappy.

I am taking 12 credit hours this semester while working 45 hours during the week. My classes are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Monday evenings I attend a group exercise class which is about an hour long (two hours once I include travel). Once a week, on Fridays, I visit the chiropractor to get adjusted. I also workout each day before class. The weekends are my only days off, and they are filled with many To-Do lists. Saturdays are spent catching up on housework that had been neglected during the week and going to the grocery store. Sundays are prep days; I prepare meals for the next week so I don’t have to worry about cooking. Prepping helps alleviate a lot of the stress during the workweek. Having such a busy schedule means I only have the weekends, and a small amount of time during the week, to get homework done. In order for me to complete school assignments and study, it is crucial that I plan it into my weekends. This makes it difficult to find any time to relax or socialize with friends and family. Even when I do find some free time on the weekends, it always seems to be someone’s birthday or

    Friday Mornings I rushed my full stomach to my room and I pulled out the bottom of my semi formal clothings and pants drawer. Being the control freak that I am, I also picked out my brother’s outfit. My mother was kind enough to let me select my own outfit to school as a second grader. Enrolled in a small, private, and conservative Christian school, where the moms are very in everyone’s business; not many of my friends were allowed to pick out their “free friday” outfits. Although now, I wish my mother would restrict some of the things I wore.…

    My time is consumed by my education and work life. I started using a weekly calendar to schedule my work days and figure out what days will be dedicated to each class and a time frame for each event.

Before college, my life was all about socializing and my high school education. I did not have to concern myself with scheduling so often.…

    The balance of family and work has been still a complex issue involving several factors, such as time spent with children, or couples do not have enough time with each other. In their article of “Weekend Work and Leisure Time With Family and Friends: Who Misses Out,” Lyn Craig and Judith E. Brown (2014) asserted that: “Sunday work is associated with more time impacts and a higher likelihood of reporting one or more health impairments and poorer work–life balance than Saturday and that Sunday retains a special status as a day preserved for family” (p. 713). For instance, retail jobs require employees to work on the weekends since those are busiest days of the week. Therefore, people have no choice but have to go to work, and leave their families behind. In addition, some people have to work overtime and get multiple jobs; they then end up spending less time with family members.…
