This is my typical weekday. I feel I need to make some serious modifications or I am going to turn into a robot pretty soon.
Hours in a day: 24
Sleep time: 8 hours
Getting ready in the morning/breakfast: 1 hour
Work: 8 and 1/2 hours usually
Travel time: 2 hours to and from work
Dinner: 30 minutes (if I am not preparing it, if I am then its 1 hour)
Gym: 1 hour
Travel time to and from gym: 30 minutes
Internet time: 1 hour for news, emails, work related stuff, chat
Shopping or trip to bank/post office: atleast 30 minutes with travel time
That leaves me with one hour maybe to do what isnt a requirement in the day. Surely I get some pleasure out of doing all those activities, but I’d like more time in the day to do other things.
So what is your daily schedule like? And would you like to change some things? Thanks.

Of course its worth mentioning, for several reasons.
9:00 am - 1:00 pm: Spend time in University, hang out with friends during the class break.
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm After getting off from the class, go back to home, eat lunch, take a nap for about 15-20 mins and then prepare myself for evening work.
3:00 pm - 6:00 pm At work.
6:30 - 7:30 pm: Get off from work, and go back to University for a night class.
After 7:30 pm, on the weekdays I go back to home, otherwise, if it's a baskeball night, then I go to watch game after 8 which is very often.
8:00 pm or 10:30 pm: Have dinner with family. Listen to music, watch TV and then go back to bed. I get 8 hours+ sleep every day.
On the weekends, I've been working 10+ hours ever since I came in the U.S. That's almost 8 years now. And if we have plans, then I spend time shopping, go to cinema, go for a long drive, or whatever mood is, do something for fun. Never wasted a weekend.
I’m another sahm nandulala. I hope I can reach your stage soon. My daughter is 22months old now.
8am: wake up and put on cartoons for Safia
9am: breakfast and diaper change
10am: wash her up and change clothes (me too)
11am: grocery shop, playdate, or out for a walk
12pm: lunch, clean up
1pm: play, t.v, read to Safia
2pm: nap time (2 hours if we’re lucky)
At this time I read, surf net, clean, and eat.
4pm: snack time, more play
5pm: make dinner for hubby
6pm: eat, then clean up
7pm: safia eats, very messy, clean floor
8pm: bath for safia, massage and put on her pjs
9pm: read books to safia and put her to sleep
(It may take an hour for her to fall asleep)
10:30: watch t.v with hubby and get ready for bed
Midn: try to sleep, safia wakes up
Daughter wakes up every 1.5-2 hours every night and she sleeps in our bed then which can be very cramped. I end up getting 4 hours of sleep every night. I’m trying right now to get her to sleep through the night because I am extremely sleep deprived for the last two years. Aaaaahh!!!
