I've been self employed for almost 10 years now. Don't have to be in the office at 8 am or clock out at 5pm. Can work in my PJ's, don't even have to shower until I can't stand my own smell (even then hehe...). I still get work done well and on time, so, no problem, right?
Yes, problem. I lack routine, that frame for the day that most people have. The structure that guides them from one hour to the next. When the silent clock strikes 1 for example, they know it's lunchtime.
I see the benefits of having a routine. It helps with focus, discipline and gives you a sense of order. So I set a very loose daily routine that I intend to let guide me, as an experiment, in February. Writing things down, I already see the upside. All my daily goals have a place in this frame (my mental picture of this is a pigeonhole type of structure) and surprise, surprise, I discovered that I have so much free time, yay! By 2 pm, I've already done house chores, 5 hours worth of work, light exercise, had breakfast and lunch!
Maybe I will conquer the world, after all.
After the 2 pm siesta, that is!
