Re: A lack of routine
I think having a routine would definitely help. The thought of having a routine though probably fills you with dread. I have what I call a 'sort of' routine, one that is flexible. I have a cup of tea in bed, write my diary, maybe read for 20 minutes, check my phone - so in other words I don't turn over and go back to sleep. I then get dressed into my exercise clothes and do 20-30 mins of some sort of exercise, wii fit, zumba dvd, exercise bike, walk. Then I get showered and dressed. Once I am up I will do 'small' jobs which once I get going usually turn into bigger jobs. I make time to walk and get the paper/mag and read it, do the crossword, go on my laptop, maybe potter in the garden, tidy a drawer or a cupboard. I suppose I balance my days with things that need doing and things I like doing....... Oh and don't forget to factor breakfast and lunch and tea breaks in!!!!
