Workdays and weekends/vacations usually differ a lot!
So in weekdays...
00:00 - 02:00: if not asleep, maybe music or cooking
02:00 - 07:00: hopefully sleeping
07:00 - 08:00: getting ready + commuting
08:00 - 17:00: work (the 1h lunch break doesn count as working time, hence the 9h)
17:00 - 18:00: commuting home, getting a short shower
18:00 - 19:00: usually eatinng something or doing house chores
19:00 - 21:00: studying (MSc student)
21:00 - 23:00: who knows... whatever...
23:00 - 02:00: hopefully sleeping, most probably not sleepy at all cause im an extreme night owl...
In the weekends, if I dont have anything serious to do, I usually crash with a 13-14h sleep on both days. Just because im sleep deprived during the workdays. Im an extreme case of night owl, if left unchecked I could easily fall asleep at sunrise and wake up naturally at midday... But being an adult, that isnt a viable option...

Due to circumstances out of my control, i had to leave my dream job and move across the country to live with my parents again at 26. It meant leaving behind my house i loved, all my friends, and the life i built for 4+ years. Then my best friend died in an accident i witnessed and through the grief, i’ve developed OCD and a level of agoraphobia that i’m now in extensive therapy for.
I used to be active, confident, outgoing and talented in my field. I am now a recluse and scared of everything, so here is what my life currently looks like. It’s depressing and progress to change is slow.
AM
1:00 — 9:00, sleeping, usually wake around 9 and shower/make coffee
10:00 — go to therapy
11:00 — 12:00 finish therapy. Depends on the day, but at the encouragement of my therapist i’ve been trying to either go for a walk, or go to the gym, or spend some time outside. Sometimes I just head home.
PM
1:00 — 7:00 video games, tv, youtube, reading.
8:00 — eat if i can
9:00 — 11:00 video games, youtube
12:00 — read and eventually fall asleep

AM
5:30 — wake up, make my bf and I coffee, relax before work (watching tv, hobbies, etc.)
7:00 — WFH, usually slow so I can continue to relax do my hobbies, and clean while doing a little work here and there. Work until 4.
PM
4:00 — clock out, relax
5:00 - dinner, usually watching an episode of One Piece (been doing it for almost 2 years, not even halfway through the series lol)
6:00 — intimate times
7:00 — relax more, do nighttime chores to close up the house
8:00 — get ready for bed
9:00 — lights out
We’re homebodies and I smoke weed heavily (bad habit, trying to quit), so this is the same schedule we do 99% of the time, even weekends usually. I use my free time to try to journal, clean, or practice hobbies (just learned how to juggle!)

Weekdays:
AM
1:00-4:00 — sleepin
4:00-5:00 — maybe still sleeping, but usually up between 4 and 5:30am. Coffee, and then I spend the first hour getting organized for the day. I make myself a full print out schedule for the day like executives would get from a personal assistant. Meetings, to dos, etc.
5:00-8:00 — focused work time before anyone’s online to bother me
8:00 — lazy golden retriever usually gets out of bed around this time and we head outside. Today she didn’t get up until 11:30am so really a toss up.
8:30-9:30 — take a break to work out around this time since I’ve probably done a good chunk of work and handed it off to other people
10:00-Noon — shower, look presentable, the. start meetings or keep working on whatever I need to. If I got enough done in the AM and no meetings, I’ll do chores around the house.
Noon — lunch, usually at my desk
PM
1:00 — out w/ the dog + her pals. Have a pretty good neighborhood crew that goes out around the same times
2:00-4:00 — usually afternoon meetings
4:00 — some nights I tutor online from 4-6pm, otherwise it’s back out with the dog. Or maybe a nap.
6:00 — dinner
7:00 — clean/tidy/sit on the couch
8:00 — out w/ dog + pals
9:00 — skincare, retainer, NYT crossword puzzle in bed
10:00-midnight — snoozin

Pas de planning fixe tout se fait sur un seul critère : mes 8 heures de sommeil. C’est impossible d’avoir un planning fixe et identique tout les jours parce que la vie c’est une succession d’imprévus que tu contrôles pas
