Schedules and Routines

[ewt]

On an ideal day, what would you get done? Include self-care activities (like hygiene and eating) and self-support activities (like working if applicable). Try to be realistic about what can actually happen in the course of a day. What would you need to do each day to never get behind in chores, to feel fulfilled and happy, and to maintain your relationships to your satisfaction?

On an average day, what do you get done? Include self-care and life-support activities as above.

On an emergency, oh-shit-everything-has-gone-wrong day, what are the essential things that you make sure you do? What is your bare-bones routine that you go out of your way to protect? What things from your above routines are "skippable" and for how long? Do you adapt by eating ready meals or by going in late to work? Do you skimp on sleep or shuffle chores to another day?

Details, details, details, please, if you will.

On an idea normal-day (rather than, say, some dream vacation day which would read like an SF novel)... I'd get up, go to work where I would be a productive employee and eat some lunch, go home, study some OU stuff, catch up on spod, eat dinner (or possibly cook-and-eat-dinner, but ewx does most of that) go out and socialise, come home, read novel, take a shower and go to bed.

On a more normal normal-day I'd get up, go to work where I am a only moderately productive employee and a lazy spod, eat some lunch, go home, play puzzle pirates, eat dinner, watch TV and knit, socialise *or* shower (alternate days), bed (unlikely to get any reading in).

On a bad-day it depends; I might drag myself to work and get normal lunch drag myself home, make sure ewx cooked dinner and go to bed. Or I might skip work (calling in sick) and sleep 'till lunch time before mucking around on the computer, reading a bit, maybe remember to shower, make ewx cook dinner, go back to bed.

Things like "tidy house" aren't really something I aim to do every day; I aim to do them at weekends - and on a good weekend the house will become tidy and my OU assignments will get done. On a bad weekend I'll just sleep.
