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.

Average Day:
1. Eat healthy
2. Exercise
3. Hygiene (shower, brush teeth, clean clothes, etc.)
4. Meditate and write down dreams

6. Go to work
7. Sometime while I'm at work, I'll check email, scan LJ and my feeds, and go for a walk.
8. Come home
9. Straighten the house
10. Cook dinner
11. Clean up from dinner
12. Do a few chores (laundry, sweep the floors, prepare food)

Emergency day:
1. Eat (try not to eat crap, either)
2. Get a little downtime to relax (read a bit, write, etc.)
3. Basic hygiene (brush teeth, wash face, put on clean clothes)
4. Go to sleep, and probably get extra sleep (I need it when stressed)
Everything else can wait.

Good question - I'll think about that.
