For the first quarter of 2024!
It is the first quarter of 2024, which means that it’s the first Week in My Life blog post for the year! As of January 2024, I am currently working as a paralegal, I’m a law student (about to head into my final semester), and I’m still doing workshops. I am no longer doing freelance writing as I have decided I do not have time to do it on the side anymore. I still have my other commitments such as my passion projects and my overall well-being.
Writing these blog posts is so fun, and is so cool to look back at. For sure, I’ll be reading this in the near future. If you haven’t checked out my other Week in My Life blog posts for 2023, you can check them out here:

- Week in My Life – June 2023
- Week in My Life – August 2023
- Week in My Life – November 2023
With this blog post, I will briefly explain what each day typically looks like. Of course, I try to stay as flexible as possible for when I catch up with friends, need to book appointments, have other activities, or stay back at work longer.
Now, let’s get into this.

Saturday & Sunday
Saturdays are when I have church, and Sunday is a completely flexible day.
While Saturdays are usually fixed with church and then subsequent church activities, Sundays change from time to time. It’s usually when I try to fit in catch-ups or solo dates.
Take a SMALL STEP
Just remember that while it’s good to have recurring/fixed events on your schedule, you have no obligation to 100% stick with the schedule. However, it’s good to plan the week ahead of time, especially if you have that kind of schedule that is different for every week!
Hopefully, this blog post gave some inspo to organize your week and be more productive :))
To Wrap Up
And that wraps up the FIRST week in my life blog post for the year! I shall do this again next quarter when it’s my final semester of university. I’m interested to see how much the schedule plays out then.
In the meantime, if you like more resources on improving your productivity, the Free Resources Library has some resources including a mini-e-book to help out! You can check it out here.
But anyway, see you in the next blog post.
