Overall, my situation is acceptable, because my sleep problems are under control and as well
intrusive thought content is under control, and my physical condition is acceptable( I am able to walk).
However, I have lost the capacity to exercise, and, coupled with my low stamina overall,
I essentially have nothing to do all day apart from walking outdoors in the evening( early in the day it’s too hot).

Do tactics problems to keep your skills in check ( I used chesstempo a while ago), learn a musical instrument…
I try to have my days like yours, without anything to do, but I allways have 1 or 2 things that are important and that I do everyday. Motivation comes and goes but discipline is persistent.
I spend some time during the day doing crossword puzzles on my phone just to try and strengthen my mind. Some days I can’t but that’s okay. I have lots to do but motivation isn’t happening.
I like to go out doors Chess. Whether it be for coffee or shopping. I will be moving soon hopefully a place with a lot of places to walk to. At home I feel like I have nothing to do.

Theres always something to be done. Musical instrument like @dreamer54 said. Definitely could turn into an obsession. But I know what you mean, no purposeful things to do. For me i know the answer: depression/negative symptoms. Not sure what it could be for you. But you seem to have a good attitude about your situation overall. Keep going for walks in nature. Over time I’m sure your stamina will improve.
In general, I’ve been told a lot of schizophrenics struggle with finding a point in doing things. So they stare at the wall or nap all day (im guilty of this). In those cases i think its important to force yourself to read a book, watch a movie, or listen to music. Just so you don’t drive yourself completely bonkers,
I hope you find something meaningful to spend your time on.

I don’t do much most days but i have a regular weekly schedule that i adhere to. I walk a little but have a bad foot right now. if that happens maybe it is the beginning of the end for me. I like doing nothing but sometimes i stress out about it. I’m as busy as I can be. I’m amotivational and it such a hassle in my mind to choose stuff and do them, that i don’t. I have to live longer than my wife so maybe have to walk with a sore foot.
I have nothing to do all day as well life without purpose is boring

I have a purpose @Quirat . But since I’m disabled it is not full time. I tried that a job in a ministry- it didn’t work out too well. I was cooking for a soup kitchen but my mind blinked.
Why don’t you work? You say you don’t need medication. Are you capable of functioning?
