Changing my work schedule was the best thing I could have done

I used to work Mon-Fri, 8 hr shifts. It sucked. Mondays are the most busy, hectic days in the call center, and that day would just wreck the rest of my whole week.

Now I work 9 hrs on Tues, Wed, and Thur, 8 hrs on Fri, and 5 hrs on Sat. It has been wonderful. I feel like I get so much more done because I have not only Sun and Mon off, but also half of Saturday. I've been able to consistently keep the house clean, and I've even started to meal prep so I am spending way less money on lunches while working.

My savings are finally building back up a little, so I'm feeling less stress about that too. I feel like I'm finally regaining control of my life.
