If you have a very busy schedule, put the free time on your calendar to make sure that you make time for it. You can literally put it as "free time" if even putting simple words like "blog" or "read" with no other direction (implication being you can blog or read etc whatever you want) makes you feel like it's "work" and automatically makes you feel like you don't want to do it even if you do XD
She said the bars were 20kg which is not heavy but benching is a slightly odd use of muscles for moving things around which I think might be more the issue XD
I am going to try this method, too. Like you said, planning the details is what's messing me up. I should be setting the topics and details. Maybe that's why I have been avoiding the movie reviews. But how would you get things done if you are leaving out the details?
I am with her. 20 kg is not easy. XD
I am so not going to the gym next month, maybe in Apr. Priya has been asking me to join. Just don't want to have those nasty muscle aches.

You should or shouldn't be setting topics and details?
If you need the details written down somewhere could you add some keywords that would convince your brain to not associate the calendar event with your job? Or have a fun colour for your blogging calendar? Or call it "free time" or "blogging time" or whatever you want on the calendar and have a separate list somewhere to look at for topics?
I kind of do the latter with project work, it's on my "work" calendar literally just as "project work" and I have notes with checklists in Obsidian.
Sorry abt the typo. I shouldn't be setting anything.
But after some thinking, free writing is good only when you want to get some random writing done. But if I am to write a story or anything. I have to put down details or key points, but at the same time, I shouldn't rush it by putting a clock on it.
I have a work to-do list where I have set all the details. Like priority, ownership, start date, Last update and current status. It was boring so I gave everything a color. Critical and High priority takes red. Low gets sky blue, and regular is Yellow. It is so funny how our brain works by simply color coding. I get it to relax and focus on the important things. Maybe I should do the for my personal to do. My work to-do means business; my personal todo, not so much. Maybe its time to change something in personal workspace.
