My psychiatrist thinks I need more Routine in my life in categories like social, health, work, etc. I've been having a hard time with the word routine - to me it means things done by rote without much purpose or something mundane that has to be done. But last night, it suddenly came to me that maybe he means Structure - that I need structure. (English is not his first language so this is entirely possible.) That sounds better to me. Structure is much more positive and makes sense – like in poetry or building a house – structure gives form and allows something to take shape. It gives you something to work with.

So - my question: What kind of structure do you have in your life? I'm not sure exactly how to build that into my life, but I think it would be good for me. I'm good with ideas, but I'm not sure how to apply it in the 'real' world and get down to specifics.
