Sort of. I don't need a strict schedule, but I need a routine that keeps me doing stuff. I have avoidant personality disorder. Having manageable things I feel obligated to do (preferably out of the house) is hugely important for me. Otherwise it all falls apart eventually.

It helps me with anxiety and depression too. Habits and routine are very helpful when you truly struggle just to do stuff.

Oh -- I do maintain a fairly strict sleep schedule. That's very beneficial for me.

It sounds like you work from home? I would think a set schedule would be very helpful to keep a person on track under those circumstances.

Good for you for trying it. My number one advice for people is to simply try various things. Everyone is a little different. Does it help *you*?
