Is this too many goals at once?

[The Sum of Awe]

I want to work on my spirituality (once a month I'd do a puja to a deity, and perhaps only once a month I'd read some stories of that deity as well - I doubt I'd put in time to read the Bhagavad Gita or anything like that, my patience isn't high enough to learn sanskirt terminology on top of religious lore regularly)

I want to work on my body (Gym. I did for a few months then stopped after I became busy in my schedule. When I start up again i want to make sure I can maintain this schedule. I'm thinking of going 6 days a week for 1 hour, because before I was doing 2 hours/3 days a week and running Full Bodies, but I think it'll feel more routine to go almost every day and it won't be as exhausting to focus on one muscle group at a time)

Writing (I've been writing a book for a year and a half and I haven't gotten as far as I wanted to. I haven't completed the first draft ending but I'm doing a second draft right now on what I've written, only a little over halfway through it. Then I want to do at least one more full draft after I finish this second draft and then the ending. I'd probably want to finalize with a 4th draft because the ending would then only have had 2 drafts - and might as well make sure it's very well complete) (and then, after all this, there are still 3 more parts to the series) - (I spend most of my time writing but now I have to cut down on my hours even more to make time for other things I've listed here)

Money (I'm working 56 hours a week every week to make up for this down payment I've put on the house. I'm not in NEED of money, I just want to build up a comfy pillow of savings in case something goes wrong - and I'm sort of "OCD" about it, where I want to have more than enough. I plan on doing these 56 hour weeks for a month and a half, that would make me feel completely comfortable financially)

House work (I just bought a house and it's very slowly coming together. I have three sticky notes of things I must get done but it's a very slow process with the overtime I'm working wearing me out and making me tired on my days off, and then just common house chores take up time too)


Am I overdoing myself? I have taken a break from the gym and the writing until I finish my 6 weeks of overtime I'm forcing myself to do, but I really want to get back into them soon and fit them into my schedule somehow. But with the house work that needs to get done it's going to be extra hard.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

I'm always telling myself I should just dedicate one of my entire weekends to getting 100% everything done on my list of house work, but it never fully comes together because inconveniences happen. Maybe I'll take a break from the overtime and dedicate that time to my house work.

 

[SalixIncendium]

In my experience, setting a laundry list of goals results on a miss in all of them. Focus on one goal at a time, accomplish it, and move on to the next. Prioritize what's most important to see to fruition, succeed, and move onto the next.

Using your housework example. I'll focus on the bathroom on Saturday morning...the kitchen on Saturday afternoon. If I have time, I'll also dust on Saturday...if not...Sunday morning. Vacuum and dusting to be done by noon Sunday.

 

[Aupmanyav]

You have a whole lot of things to do and less time. It is good that you have curtailed your gym routine. Carry on, it will be better after a month and a half.
Break from overtime! But money too is important. Perhaps you can go slow with house improvement. Give time for things to happen.

A clue about too much on your plate is become tired mentally or physically, feeling very frustrated and other such emotions.

 

[JustGeorge]

Only you can decide what's too much. We all have different capacities and energy levels. If, like @sun rise has suggested, you start feeling irritable, tired, or overwhelmed, you may have taken on too much and need to cut back.

Maybe prioritize ahead of time to know which really matter the most to you should burn out occur.

I'm not a sports guy but remember that experts recommend to do the "one day training, one day rest" routine. You should read up on that before you set your schedule.
And you should contemplate to schedule times of rest in general. Everyone is different but what you are doing would get most people a burnout. And I know a bit about that.
