Without the imposed schedule of a job, I have not been disciplined with my time. Lately, I have been introducing structure into my day. First, by scheduling walks. Next by scheduling appointments. Scheduling reading time, lunch time, reading time, bedtime, and other alarms. With that scaffolding in place, I can start to schedule things like writing and social media. And more practical things can be scheduled like maintenance and administrative work at home.

I just need to grow accustomed to the rhythm of the alarms throughout the day. I need to be mindful of mornings as the lunchtime alarm comes up way too soon, or I'm spending too much time on social media.
