Jon's Vacation Routine

I have the week off, and my two goals for the week are (1) catch up on reading (2) catch up on sleep. As Stefan Sagmeister described in his TED Talk on taking sabbaticals, I need to make a schedule, a routine, in order not to dissipate my energies in lounging around.

I'm going to try for the following. I've put down study for the odd hours; the even hours remain free (e.g., keep going on the study, or do something totally different, like check my RSS feeds, etc.).

 9 Wake up
10 
11 Read the Iliad
12
 1 Read Algorithms (Skiena)
 2 
 3 Read Aristotle
 4
 5 Read Physics (Halliday)
 6
 7 Read Math Refresher for Scientists and Engineers
 8 
 9 Calligraphy, exercise
10 Evening prayer, meditation
11 Evening tea with mom
12
 1 Sleep—8 glorious hours

We'll see how it goes.
