The evening timeline
Time is easy to lose when you can't see it. Lay your evening out on one line (a block for each thing) and the hours turn into something you can look at, not just something that slips by.
My evening
thought club.How to use it
Add one block at a time: what it is, when it starts, when it ends. Each one takes its place on the line, so you can see the whole stretch at a glance, where the free time is, where things are packed too tight, whether the thing you're dreading is really as long as it feels.
Keep it loose. Leaving a gap on purpose is a plan, not a failure. When it looks right, print it or save it as a PDF, or set it on a whiteboard and rebuild it fresh each evening.
Tip: pick one colour per kind of thing in your head (breaks, homework, meals) and the shape of your evenings starts to feel familiar.
