My new way of scheduling

First I cancelled the two-job days.

Then I cancelled the second job.

Now I'm moving on to the new schedule that includes a part-time job and
some contract work, and my temptation is to say to myself, "Cool! Now I
can do lots and lots of stuff every day!" and start scheduling the shit
out of my days off from work.

Not gonna happen.

New rule: No Double-booking. One thing a day is enough. Work OR social
stuff OR errands. Not all three.

I have spoken.
