For the longest time I had to write down my entire schedule for the day... like pretty much down to the minute. And literally write it down and hang it on the fridge. (mine was always in the form of post it notes sprinkled randomly throughout the house... it was an organized type of chaos)

Like:
8:31am: wake up (no no literally... I have this weird superstitious thing about setting my alarm for a "normal" time... don't ask)
8:32 to 8:40: read emails on phone
8:41 to 9:15: shower/brush teeth

And so on and so on. It really helped me feel like I was accomplishing something particularly when I was unemployed and everything in my life was just sort of... drifting. Going to bed at a reasonable time was always the hardest thing for me. Still is. I always find that I'm far more motivated at midnight or 1am than I could ever hope to be during the day. So sometimes I give in to that. Even though I know I really shouldn't.

I just recently got out of this habit actually. But I did it for YEARS. Really once I had my daughter my schedule just didn't stand a chance!
