Do you have a daily routine or do you just work however you like?

I find that having a daily routine helps me stay productive and focused while working. I typically have a set schedule for when I wake up, exercise, work, and take breaks throughout the day.
However, I also recognize that everyone has their own working style and what works for me may not work for everyone else. Some people thrive on having a more flexible schedule, while others may prefer a stricter routine.
What about you? Do you have a daily routine or do you prefer to work more flexibly? I'm curious to know what works best for you and if you have any tips for establishing a productive routine.

A routine has been tremendously helpful for me.
Usually my mornings are the most prescriptive. I wrote about my routine here: https://presentable.substack.com...

@victorkernes Yess! Routines are really important for me as well!
Thank you for sharing your routine with us!
@ezgiyeginaltay you’re welcome! :D
I have a daily routine and structure my time.

I have a lot of opportunities to participate in rallies and work, and I am able to prioritize my tasks effectively.

@bangtanwifue_gumpz Good to hear!

I tend to plan day by day if I'm overwhelmed, but I usually plan week by week. It helps with staying focused.

@artistro08 I plan my weeks before the week starts but since my tasks change weekly I can't see myself planning my schedule week by week. Sadly it wouldn't work for me :( But I do see where you're coming from and I agree!

@ezgiyeginaltay to be fair, I used to do that as well. The reason why I started planning the week was because it was easier to see what I needed to get done, vs planning the day.
I can anticipate things better

I try to have routine every day, a clear schedule makes me more efficient. Every day I highlight priority tasks that need to be done first. I try to do them right away, while I have the energy and clear mind.

@anna_starodub1 I agree. Doing it beforehand makes it so much easier!
Hello Ezgi, that's a great question! Personally, I do have a routine, but I believe I developed this routine just to remain consistent in what I do. It's not like principles or rules that I absolutely have to follow to have a successful workday. It's more like a guide, an overall framework of actions that encourages productivity and eliminates procrastination.

@ezgiyeginaltay - Sure!

for me working in routine is 10x productive but now I'm trying to stick to it.

@shubhangi_sharma5 I hope you the best of luck!
I think it's a great one having such routine I really planned out but if I may ask how do you expect someone having visual challenge to have this implemented in his or her daily routine any advice is welcome but I have a family going through such challenges thanks
I start out by writing in my productivity journal. Then, I do admin stuff—go through and respond to e-mails, record finances, etc. Next, I work on client articles, and if there's time (and I try to make sure I do have time left over), I work on articles for my personal blogs/newsletters.

@thewriterlyz Having or making sure that you have time left over is really important to me as well. You never know if something will come up the last minute!
I tried going with the flow but I couldn't manage everything as time went on.
I plan my daily life for the entire week. Start with a gym session in the morning and then I follow the tasks I set up in Hubspot. A strict routine is really helping me out lately.

@jaka_koprivec Going with the flow may sound easy at first but when you try to adapt it to your daily life it's not very practical. That's why ı plan my week before the week starts!

Hello! I just created IXORD Notes recently, notes that are important in situations like this. And my daily routine is completely written in my product. I have a lot of rallies and work, and I prioritize my tasks. You're right that it makes me more organized. Because I see and know what will happen next and I can prepare for it.

I create a list of things to do, but I don't assign specific deadlines to many of the tasks as it can trigger anxiety

@yash_gandhi4 I've never thought about that until now 🤔

Time blocking has helped me make sure that what I NEED to get done actually gets done. Things like social posts, emails, and design tasks.
But I definitely leave room for flexibility.
A great kickstart to my mornings has been suffering through a cold shower. Life hack fr 🥶
BeforeSunset AI
@colbyprompt Yess! Leaving room for flexibility is really important! Can't say the same thing about the shower though... I can't bring myself to do it 🥲
That's interesting, do you find it difficult to stick to your routine every day? I personally find it helpful to have a loose structure, but also allow for flexibility when needed. What are some ways you establish and maintain your routine?

@webizito_web Congrats!
I don't have a set daily routine, but I do adapt my work habits to the tasks and projects that I'm working on. For example, if I have a deadline looming, I might work longer hours to get everything done on time.
BeforeSunset AI
@havoc06_w Working according to the deadlines and prioritizing what needs to be done is really important!
I have a general structure that I try to stick to. I find that allowing for some flexibility in my schedule keeps things fresh and helps me avoid burnout.
BeforeSunset AI
it is usually never there. even if I compose it, write down all the tasks, I never do everything like this. I often get distracted by little things and in general I want to improve my discipline, but I haven't committed myself yet. I forget about it when I'm distracted by something.
