Some ideas on how to start adjusting to new routines and habits

This is the third and final post on my series of habits and routines, and how to adjust to new habits. In the first post I discussed activities that ground me, in the second one we talked about how 'Tiny habits' concept of anchoring events, positive emotions, and small habits are keys to start doing something new. In this I want to discuss generally on the nature of changes I might want to make, and how I should go about them.

The issue at hand is that there's multiple competing, exciting and interesting things available for me to do and go to. Time is not of concern as there's ample time to be able to finish everything. Energy is likely not the biggest concern either because most of them don't take much energy, they'll all medium-energy task. What is probably the biggest hindrance in this specific journey is the lack of clear vision and understanding on what I want and how I want to organize things.

I have a general sense of my desires. Walk, work, meditate, write, meet friends, yoga, etcetrea. At a high level that makes sense. But how do those activities interact with each other? Do I want to prioritize one over the other, or are all more-or-less important to me? What is the ideal use of time that I can do to allow me to do everything, while not adding extra money? Do I need to worry about opportunity costs?

One doesn't want to think about those things because they are real choices, and all of them directly impact one way or the other. Then it's important to think about how to handle disruptions. What if I missed the train and might be late to the yoga class by 20 minutes. Worth going or just waste basket? And what to do with the saved time. And how to account for the added stress thanks to your acitvity...

Because we have also talked about metals and constructing, the real things that happen, folks are beginning to understand the architecture and logic of old-timey houses.

Once I have identified what I value and determined the order, it's a simple matter of penning once calendar with spots for the government underlined in red, and an instruction to the local ministries to communicate across the civil and military organization.

Annnnd...that's it!
