Standard Schedule ...Love in the Time of Coronavirus Edition
Here's a formalization of my routines. If you're trying to figure out how to structure your day, maybe this'll give you ideas of what to do and what not to do. You probably don't want to do what I do. I'm not offended. No, seriously, I'm not. On weekdays, I don't watch streaming things unless they help me solve a work-related problem. Generally speaking, if I feel like I need passive entertainment, I did something wrong with my energy management. For money, I write code. For a hobby, I write a novel and it's what I do for work on Fridays. I take my marriage, family and friends seriously. So, that's all on the schedule. If it's important, it should be on the schedule.
