Calendar

I am attempting to break up the year into a few modes. Currently, from the way things break down, I believe I need to break the year up into three portions. From the start of the year until the week of March 12 is winter mode. I should focus on coding projects and plan on low energy levels. From March 12 until October 8 is Summer Mode. Focus on the growing things and building things. From October 8 to the end of the year is Fall Mode. Energy levels will be dropping and there is a lot to do. Be careful to not over-commit, focus on getting the yard cleared and preparing for the holidays.
