My current er, daily routine now:
Wake up late morning/midday
Wait 30 minutes to get out of bed (read something on the phone until then)
Dress up
Hygiene routine & open window & make bed
Breakfast
I stay at the breakfast table. Reading the news, other topics of interest (I'm educating myself on a couple of things, the economy, neuroscience. These relate to my future plans/goals) maybe some fiction book
I also post on some forums related to what I'm educating myself on but that's kinda just for me to pass the time and is too addictive
And if I read the fiction books, it's too addictive too
Lunch (too soon bc of late getting up)
I make sure I sit on the couch in the living room, not in bed in the bedroom. Reading the news, other topics of interest (I'm educating myself on a couple of things, the economy, neuroscience. These relate to my future plans/goals), maybe some fiction book
Again sometimes I also post on some forums related to what I'm educating myself on but that's kinda just for me to pass the time and is too addictive
And if I read the fiction books, it's too addictive too
Sometimes talking to my mother for a few minutes
Sometimes sorting out urgent errands (paying the bills or the like)
Dinner
Towards the evening, often after dinner only, doing the part-time work tasks. I used to do it earlier for a short time when my mother was helping me by paying attention to me (temporary agreement).
Still staying up until like 2-3am or even 4-5am if I try to do more work or I get pulled in by processing my past issues or to try and find my way forward more.
Shower, brush teeth/evening hygiene routine
Also, every 2-3 days 15 minutes running.
Latest bad mental habits I cut out: paying too much attention to two people regularly taking hours of my time, several days a week. I've disengaged from them. Stopped reading too much psychology books/articles/forums because it pulled me low. But I know I sometimes still have to do it or I'll get stuck in processing the issues I got. I just try not to do it every day for hours anymore. I can go without it for days now. It helps me stay outside my head more.
Latest physical habits I cut out/changed: no more lying down in bed even for a short time, not even to read stuff. Made the time between runs 1 day sometimes instead of 2 days. (Need to get new running shoes though, until then I am conservative)
....
So I need to change the part about staying at the breakfast table/going over to the couch to read. Need to start doing other tasks right away or work
No?
