A solution to my non-motivated, computer-addicted problem.

[queenemilia]

I have made a list of daily goals for myself, a schedule of sorts, that I want to loosely follow so that I am not sitting, bored, at my computer for 10 hours a day off and on.

Here is what I've come up with:

• Get up at 9 AM - this will take care of the sleep schedule issue that I have as well
• Get coffee and read my Bible - a great way to start the day
• Exercise at least one hour - then it's over with!
• Look for a job for at least 2 hours - I increase my odds of finding one
• Clean one small thing around the house - I can contribute to a healthy, happy family
• Pick up my bedroom - I can contribute to my healthiness and happiness
• Play guitar with my little brother - I need to spend more time with him
• Take a walk with my little brother - he needs to spend more time off of his own computer (which he has agreed to do, by the way)
• Check facebook, livejournal, email, etc for no more than 1 hour a day
• Pray
• Go to bed at 11 pm - also taking care of the sleep schedule issue

I have other options if I run out of time, or something is already done (like my room being clean already). I think limiting myself and giving myself goals for the day will help me to feel like I have something to get up for and accomplish until I can get full-time employment. I understand that this schedule needs to be flexible and allow for things like interviews, time with friends, Bible class, guitar lessons, but I want something somewhat structured so that I'm accountable to SOMETHING all day.
