I keep it simple. Choose a couple things to focus on and write those down in my planner (pen and paper). Lately it’s been:
- read more books, especially biographies and histories
- spend time with my kids
- write a blog post or essay once a month
Outside that, I don’t get much more specific. Work is already busy enough to juggle. I don’t need another thing to juggle. I’m not interested in forcing that much structure on my time outside work. I try to prioritize simple things that make my family or myself happy.
