Weekly Goal Planner

Earning stays fixed. Writing, health and reading are built around it.

Weekly targets

Area	Target	Why
Earning	55–60 hrs, stretch 65	Fixed. A floor and a stretch keep a slow week from feeling like failure.
Writing	10–12 hrs: 5 sessions, 5,000 words or 10 poems, plus editing and submitting	Equal priority, the route to a writing career.
Reading	6 days, 180 pages	Craft study, with one flex day.
Exercise	5–6 hrs: 3 strength, 3 cardio, daily walks	About 250 minutes of moderate activity.
Social media	4 hrs maximum	Spent posting your own writing.
Sleep	49 hrs, no night under 6	An average can hide very short nights.
Socializing	2 events	One planned in advance.
Rest	1 day with no earning work	Sunday by default; absorbs what slipped.

Protect one fixed block. About 90 minutes right after waking, treated like a shift. Five of these plus one longer weekend session.
Turn social media into publishing. Post poems, excerpts and short essays so your audience and portfolio grow together.
Use dead time safely. Voice-note ideas while parked between rides, and listen to audiobooks or craft podcasts while driving.
Let writing earn. Tech and IT writing, one pitch a week, 2–4 magazine or contest submissions a month, and a weekly blog or newsletter post.

At 86 kg and 5’8”, BMI is about 28.8. The standard healthy range for your height is roughly 55–74 kg; Indian guidelines use a lower cutoff, near 68 kg.
A safe pace is 0.25–0.5 kg a week. First milestone: 81–82 kg in about 3 months.
Strength on Mon, Wed and Fri; cardio on Tue, Thu and Sat. Walk 20–30 minutes daily, since driving is long sedentary time.
Food matters more than exercise for weight loss. Aim for planned or home-cooked meals 5 days out of 7, with more protein and fiber.
Start with 3 sessions plus walks for two weeks, then build up. Check with a doctor first if you have heart, joint or blood pressure concerns.

3 months: steady habit, 12 or more pieces posted or published, a simple portfolio page.
6 months: first paid piece or accepted submission, and a small regular readership.
12 months: regular writing income. Reduce earning hours only once it reliably covers the gap.

Weekly check-in on Sunday: words or poems written, pieces published, submissions sent, writing income.
