It might be useful to see where the day is going. How many academics' summers have simply faded away without anything to show for themselves?
8-9: Got up, showered, coffee. Read a few pages of Norwegian Wood. A little piano. Kenko puzzle. Went to Beth's house to feed chickens and cat.
9-10: Re-joined the gym. Meditation. Made breakfast; emptied and loaded dishwasher, ran it,
10-11: Writing. Wrote 420 words on an article!
11-12: Put a load of laundry in. Played piano.
12-14: Laundry in the drier. Gym. Second shower! Sorted socks and put clothes away. Blogging.
14-15:30: Reading at coffee shop. Finished Norwegian Wood.
4:30 : Picked up vegetables at store; other shopping.
19-20: Dinner. Watched a few movies.
Observations:
Gym takes two hours.
10 is relatively late to start work, but I only needed an hour.

I've been to Califas, Florida and Washington so far.
Califas: 1 week opulent elder care.
Florida: earned $1600 or so grading over 1000 exams on a question that must be kept confidential, but that was on a classic Spanish text I do not normally teach, but like.
Washington: Fought the AAUP and got a stomach ache. Agitation. Professional service.
Here (week 4+): worked on Lorca and other logistics. Worked on the Granados text.
My idea is that I can write an article in July. This should be about right but 3 week days have to go to something else so I had beeter start tomorrow if I want the equivalent of all week days. One hour, because I have other things to do. We'll see how I do with your method, since in this case research has been ongoing and writing should not be hard. I have to write two abstracts as well, which means a day goes to that, so I will take August 1 as my finish date and not July 31.
