Scheduling for Success: How to Stay on Track
What happens when things don’t go according to schedule? We have to plan for contingencies and external factors in order to keep moving towards our goals. Today, I explore with you some scheduling strategies that have helped me and my students and clients in their advancement.

Flex Schedules and Planning for Change
Many of us are going through challenging processes and times of busyness. Remember, stress and sacrifice aren't forever. Our “ideal” schedule and our non-negotiables change over time and invite the changes that come with our journeys. Here are three types of schedules that you can develop to help keep you on track: 

1. The Ideal Schedule - This is where you map out what you actually have to do for this moment in time. What are your obligations and non-negotiables? If you’re enrolled in Mastering Academic Applications, I give you a template for scheduling and you fill it out with ease. Otherwise, you can develop a schedule that works for you and map out your day, the time that each task takes you, and do so in the context of an ideal world. This is a world where everything runs smoothly, consistently, and there are no outside influences.
2. The Flex One Schedule - This is your schedule when some things don't go according to plan. Maybe you need to spend more time studying for your standardized tests and this means you can only go to the gym three times in the week instead of five. Your flex one schedule allows more time for the non-negotiables and less time for the negotiables.
3. The Flex Two Schedule - This is your schedule when a lot doesn’t go according to plan. You may have to start cutting down on things that maybe, in your ideal or flex one schedule, are non-negotiable in order to give yourself more time to do more urgent tasks.
