I do best when I have a routine. My routines help me make sure I do the things I love to do.
Without them, I think I would spend all day drifting around, surfing the internet, and then being mad at myself for not getting anything done!
My mornings go like this:
6am: Wake up. Ok sometimes it’s 630 or 7am but usually around 6am.
615-645am: Practice yoga
645-715am: Make and eat drink breakfast (pretty much always a smoothie these days)
715-8am: Walk the dogs
8am: Either leave to teach yoga OR head out for a run OR use our elliptical machine
The middle of the day is always different and then my evenings go like this:
6pm OR 7pm if I taught an evening class: Eat dinner
730-815pm: Walk the dogs
815-9pm: Watch TV / hang out with D.
9pm-10pm: Get ready for bed, read, go to sleep
What routines do you have in your life?
How do they help you?

And so it goes…
I think I have got too much in my routine & therefore don’t always fulfill it. I like your idea of routine in am & pm with freedom in the middle of the day…
Hmmm…thanks for sharing
Hi Kirralie – Yes I’ve noticed that while I need to have routine, I need to have free unstructured time as well. Always balancing the two….
