Realignment

Once I fall behind, it gets even harder to catch up. E3 was a huge wrecking ball in my plans and nearly pushed my schedule back by an entire week. Not exactly a good look. It boils down to the struggle between routine and disruption.

I've accounted for all my hours in each and every day, which makes it hard for me to take advantage of spontaneous opportunities. Do I disrupt my routine in favor of a special event or do I stick to the schedule? A life of monotony is no life at all, so I usually give in to digression, The problem is that it always leaves me out of sorts the following day.

For instance, I went to the Angels game this Friday, which is the same day I'm supposed to work out. I suppose I could've pushed my routine to Saturday, but I don't trust myself. I ended up working out and not going to sleep until 3 in the morning. The worst part is that I knew I was going to the game a week in advance, so I could've avoided the situation completely.

I'll have to devise some sort of procedure for these moments. I can't be running a marathon and take detours at the same time. Something's gotta give, and that means introducing flexibility to a stiff calendar.
