Happy birthday, Ed, and have a wonderful retreat! I would also keep the morning for writing. Hmm, I don't see any naps in there but after afternoon exploring is a good time for that. I haven't heard of the Pomodoro technique, and I don't think it would work for me. If I'm in the flow, I go with it, and my body lets me know when it's time to take a short break and move around. Your sketching kit sounds great; I encourage you to start on it the very first day and keep going.
Thanks for the birthday greeting, Annette! You're right that I neglected to schedule in nap time, but I'm sure I'll give in to the temptation if it strikes. I'll update everyone on what I think of the Pomodoro; I'm a little skeptical, too, but I want to give it a fair shake.
