Okay, that's a tad dramatic. But things have been hectic, as evidenced by last month's missed posts. That's why we are taking steps to get back on track.
First, we've made charts for daily tasks that often get neglected when things are this hectic. These charts will be edited as necessary going forward. Here they are in their current forms.

| We're trying to coin the term "bi-daily". #jointhemovement |
- No more solo watching of TV or movies, unless directly related to school. (Sarah might make exceptions for this on designated days, because she hasn't developed screen addictions at the level Katie has.) No spontaneous group TV or movie watching, either - just stuff that has been planned in advance.
- Computer use for any purpose not directly related to work/school is limited to 20 minutes per day. (This does not count using the computer to listen to music, nor to watch shows and movies; the former is not a problem and the latter has already been accounted for by the previous rule.) If recreational computer use goes over the allotted 20 minutes per day, the overage is subtracted from the next day's time.
- Be in bed with lights out no later than 10:30 pm (Sarah) / 11 pm (Katie). Wake up no later than 6:30 am (both of us).
Next, we want to be continuously focused on these important things:
- Doing justice to our obligations (e.g. work, school, dance, blogging, etc.)
- Maintaining relationships with family and friends
- Being creatively fulfilled
And finally, we will be holding each other accountable. There might be yelling and screaming (not really), but we will make each other abide by these new goals and rules so that our lives can regain some semblance of order.
If your life is falling apart too, maybe some of this will be helpful. Let us know in the comments if you share our struggle, or if you have advice for us. Thanks for your patience with us as we try to get back on top of things.
