This vaguely ties in with our How Do You Have it All thread. We all have hectic lifestyles. Some are balancing work with raising kids, some work freelance and have to manage their own time, some are holding down multiple jobs, and others like me, work nightshift. I'm not so good at multitasking, so for me routine is vital for avoiding stress. Of course, with the constant flipping between nocturnal and diurnal life, rigid hour by hour routines aren't possible. Instead, I have little 'rituals' that help me to make it from one task to the next, and give me a sense of stability and order in my life.
So I'd like to invite you, if you can find the time ^^, to describe a typical day (or two if there is more than one 'typical' day for you). From getting up, to hitting the hay, how do you fit it all in? Are there any little rituals you stick to, like getting the packed lunches done the night before, vacuuming while the dinner is cooking, never working for more than 45 minutes without a short break, taking a bubble bath before bed.. You can include daily rituals of a more spiritual nature too if you like. Lets show one another how we make it all work!
I'll come back and add mine later (writing longer posts during down time at work is, in fact, one of the ways I free up more time in the evenings!).
