Unfortunately, non-48 hour weeks are not acceptable at this time thanks to upcoming deadlines. In addition, I may be hitting 56 hour weeks later in the year.
In my experience I've found that anything I put off until "I have time" gets dropped permanently. I run solely on momentum as I have a lot of mental inertia.
I appreciate your concern and am taking your ideas to heart, despite my quick knockdowns. For instance, I've not yet signed up for the summer sessions. In those classes, it's 5 hrs/week/class for seven weeks, instead of the usual 14. This allows for two summer sessions per summer. I did it last summer, and it was manageable, I was even able to take two one week vacations (one per class) and not fall too far behind.
