but even the smallest of things, when i wake up, what i do when i wake up, i.e. wash my face, get coffee, etc. is part of it too and helps me to stay on task. some days, it has to be like 'ok, we can work until such and such time and THEN do something else' unless it's too difficult or i'm dissociating too much (rarely does that happen thankfully when working). i also find it hard to do things not because of being indecisive at times, but more because i seem to be tired ALL the time or have only five or so functional hours after i wake up where i can do something enough.
i tend to work then spend the rest of the night watching TV/online unless i have to go out after work for something. but with everything i do, i have to have a plan in mind because if i don't, it causes too much anxiety if i just leave the house and have no idea of where i'm headed. so, plans are a must for me or it throws everything off.

I wish I could. I'm self employed and our schedule is chaotic at best. I never know when a job can happen and at what times.
