TIMETABLE:
7:00 AM – Wake up: sit cross-legged on your bed and meditate until you are fully awake and clear-headed enough to get up and engage in your upcoming activities without feeling groggy.
7:15 AM – Take vitamins C, D, and B12 (or aloe, if needed), feed the cat, wash its bowls, and clean the litter boxes.
7:20 AM – Light a candle and prepare a moka pot of coffee or some tea.
After breakfast, remain in meditation (you may gaze at the candle if you wish).
7:40 AM – Wash your face and brush your teeth; do some stretching, planks, and abdominal exercises; and/or take a cold shower.
8:00 AM – 11:00 AM – You may turn on your phone and respond to messages.
If it is a workday, go to work.
If it is not a workday, alternate between exercise and study.
If you choose exercise, go for a run, ride your bike, or engage in some form of outdoor physical activity.
If you choose to study, sit at your desk and select a topic for the day: write it down on a sheet of paper and conduct some research. Research it, read about it, and summarize your findings on paper, an iPad, or a computer. 11:00 Prepare lunch and offer it to God. (Wait until 12:00 to eat, of course.)
Before lunch, if you have some extra time, you can listen to two musical tracks or do some journaling.
Feed the cat.
12:00–13:00: Lunch, followed by coffee or tea.
13:00–14:00: Clean the house, brush your teeth, and take a shower. If you’ve finished cleaning and still have time, you can journal or read a book.
14:00–15:00: If you need to go grocery shopping or if anything is missing at home, this is the time to head out.
15:00: Take your bike and go out—bring a thermos of tea and a packed dinner in case you’re out late—or stay home and do some stretching, abdominal exercises, and planks.
15:30–16:30: Tea time.
16:30: Prepare dinner.
17:00–18:00: Dinner. Also, feed the cat.
18:00–18:30: Meditation—do nothing. If you like, you can light a candle and watch the flame. Brush your teeth after meditating (you can even use coconut oil).
18:30–20:00: Free time. Sit down with a blank canvas and some paints or colors in front of you. You can listen to two musical tracks, watch the candle flame, journal, or continue your studies. You could also sew, declutter, or play a musical instrument—or create music on your computer. (You may draw on your computer/iPad, but without looking at Pinterest or other inspiration sites—you may only use such sites if you are in a state of artistic flow and require a specific point of reference.)
20:00–21:00: Tea time. VITAMIN K. Meditate while gazing at a candle during the time that remains.
21:00–22:00/23:00: Continue your free time. Place some water by your bedside.
Darkness.

I tried living by such time tables and it never worked for me. Life requires more flexibility and improv.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

I just follow one discipline: don't procrastinate and do something valuable with your time. And everything else falls into place by itself somehow. 

But that schedule you made might also work. Good luck with it.

To truly love something is to grant that thing freedom. It is to hold it in an open, outstretched palm of your hand without clenching over it.
