Not posted much recently, been lurking a bit though. The main reason for this is Life has had a few downs recently that I have struggled to cope with, Eventually admitted defeat and have been to see a counsellor.
One of the things we have been working on is life tracking charts, just to get a baseline of areas that need work or tweaking, from this I created an ideal week chart for reference.
Originally all charts where done on a spreadsheet which is great for quickly modifying when recording daily activities but not so pleasing when printed for using as a reminder.
Then a post on Facebook gave me the inspiration to turn the ideal week chart into something more artistic and therefore something more pleasing to print off and have on the wall. The image below is my chart, I've removed the text from the activity key, don't want you knowing to much about me, so you'll just have to make wild guesses as to what each colour represents.

Thanks Esper, used a lot of paths and the Shape path script came in very handy, created polygon's with 48 sides so just had to delete the anchor points not required then join the two paths together. Once I had created a few paths of different segment lengths was able to then just rotate them to suit the correct positions required.

What a creative person you are he4rty! I like your chart, I think that would be applicable to any business department, I suppose. I wonder what would it be my own timetable, sure not as yours plenty of activity. ;) My other question.... what colour is represented to create or think your outcomes in Gimp-Chat? :hehe

A very original weekly plan, he4rty, of which I also like the overall appearance and the delicate colors featured. :bigthup

Furthermore, those patterns in the shape of nearly circular polygons somehow make me think of colorful portholes, each of which could be regarded as a window overlooking the particular daily vista it is related to.

Blue colour is for sleep and orange is for work, I think. :roll:

That is a great way of working "out" the mind and soul towards your personal goals. I wish you well, looks like you're on the good road to make it happen.

Issabella - Thanks for the encouraging words but alas wasn't anything inspirational or creative just copied an idea from another person, you are correct with your colour guesses thought.

Gino D - Thanks, I had an idea of colour prior to the image and a quick search found a suitable palette to use.

Molly - Doing good thanks, its everyone around me who's falling apart.

Offnuts - Thats been part of the problem working shifts and not being able to sleep, not a good combination.

Dalia - Its an interesting thing to do, As people have mentioned we all tend to budget for money but never budget our time and yet it is more valuable than money.

He4rty, I think there are times in life that we need to stop to think about our current life. You've thought it right, (maybe you should do any change) So, now you should take the right steps to make it join and assemble your personal life and work in the best possible way from now on. Sorry I talk too much. :oops:
