i am trying to build a routine for myself so i can get more done. somehow it eludes me.
i start and make progress and then something or other happens where i lose my footing so to speak and then it is back to square one.

I don’t have a lot to do. I go to doctor and dentist appointments and go grocery shopping, that’s about all I do. Maybe to the post office or a restaurant or the ATM. I don’t really have a routine, I don’t need one, unless you count going to work three days a week, and that’s just getting up, taking a shower, getting dressed and driving there.
On my days off, I still get up pretty early, fix a soda and then breakfast, then do the dishes. Then I make my bed and lay in it and surf this site and YouTube for most of the rest of the day. Maybe that’s a routine but the action part of the routine is only about half an hour, then I’m on the computer all day.
There’s minimal cleaning that needs to be done. I clean the shower and toilet when I feel like it, usually about once a week. I don’t have a kitchen, I have a kitchenette which stays pretty clean.
One routine I have is I keep lists; I put everything I need to do on a list including phone calls I have to make, if I have to do laundry I write that down, errands I need to run, things I need to buy, if i need to repair something that goes on the list. Sometimes I have a list with 7 or 8 things on it that I need to do that I cross off as I accomplish them. Right now I have four things on my list, nothing pressing. So yeah, I guess I have somewhat of a routine.
I recently cut a toxic person out so now I have a lot more time on my hands and it is very welcome and appreciated. I now have time to read, study and exercise. Plenty of time. I didn’t have that before.
