Re: Routine?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,Just wondering if anyone has noticed if when you have a routine going

such things get done at the same time every day, As up to when I had my little

one I was in a routine of up before 8am get dressed washed and do house work,

but since I am not getting up in till 10.30 later some times is it because i

have gotten out of my routine and need to go back to one.i work a hour a day 4

times a week mon-thurs have I got into a bad habit.Would it help to go back to a

routine??

Hi

Yes, it would be best to have a reasonable routine. We need to take into account

for the bad days.

I have also found it difficult to establish a routine now that I have all the

time in the world. It seems like it's far to easy to put things off.

It is especially difficult because I love to read. I find it easier to get

wrapped up in a good book.

My Mom was super strict about her household routine, so I often feel like she is

" turning over in her grave " or maybe spinning is a better description.

That depends on you and your body.  A lot of people do well with a planned

schedule and others like to see what's coming around the corner when they get to

it.

I can tell you though that the longer you wait the harder it will be to get back

into a routine.  So if you think you do better with a routine you need to get

back to it as quick as you can.  I know that a lot of times with fibro and other

chronic issues that it gets all to easy to just stay in your pajamas.  I am the

world's worst.  I hate regular clothes and love my pj's and I only get ready and

wear regular clothes when I go to town.

I have seen that there are more and more people wearing their pj's in town but I

just can't do that.  I think the pajama jeans are so ugly and stupid.  Don't

want to offend anyone but I think it is tacky to wear pj's to town.  Not the

soft pants and a T-shirt, but the actual pajama sets!!!  What are they

thinking????

Hugs,

Good to hear from you. Hope you are managing fairly well. I definately find

that having a routine helps me. I get up around 8am and take 1/2 my morning

pills and check my blood sugar. Then I have coffee and feed the cats. By the

time I get showered and dressed, I take the remaining am meds. those are ones I

take once a day. The other ones I have to take 3 to 4 times a day. My routine

helps me remember to take my meds when I am suppose to.

I set a couple errands/chores to accomplish during the day. Sometimes it is a

doctor appointment. If I didn't have a routine, I would never get much of

anything done.

This week has been hectic. I have been trying to complete my online credits to

get my emerency medical technican certificate reactivated. I had to do 24

credits where each course is 1 credit and takes about 45 mins.

On top of that, my future daughter-in-law and son are having a baby end of June

(they are getting married in Nov). I went out and got the shower gifts. (My

hubby was along and had to make me stop picking out things. LOL)

I have had such brain fog this week that monday I showed up at my doctor's 3

hours earlier than my appointment! I resceduled it for yesterday. Today my

chiropactor's office called that I missed the appointment there this am. I am

really losing it!

Yes I need my routine or I would look like a chicken with its head cut off. <00>

Lots of gentle hugs, Tami

Donna,

Yes, it does as it programs your body to realize you have goals and respond to

them. It is one of the time management techniques that is more important.
