Yes/No

How is your mental state without a routine?

Do you spend time in limbo? (Not doing anything) Does a limbo state induce anxiety to you?

I'm always on that limbo, sometimes I'm just surprised at the fact that I didn't kill myself when I was 13

Routine is great. I recommend it to everyone.

coffee and catching up on emails for the first hour of every day of work >

after march 2020 not anymore, life is pain.

not exactly but I try to create goals for the next day before I sleep so I have something to aim for the next day

get up, smoke cigarettes and drink coffee. other than that let the day unfold. apart from the hygiene routines

This will help you

If it doesn’t it’s an entertaining watch

I don't like routines but they keep you organised.

thanx :)

routines are boring though, I just wake up and do s*** if I have or want to

I work on 4 or 5 different things. 1 hr and 40 minutes each and 30 minutes break between them. Plus morning routines to get ready and night routines to sleep well.

Without a routine i slowly descend into madness.

Yes

I like routine

I get “in limbo” on Sundays often because I try to not do a lot because I have to sleep early but then I end up doing nothing and getting sad

No problem

It helped me when I was helpless at a certain point

The theory that I have is that we all have to maintain a routine

We can miss days of course

& The routine can be absurd as ever

As long as the schedule or routine is done, you can slowly start unhinging the jaws of anxiety sinking into your emotions

You are somewhat manipulating a game (planning a day) into your favor and winning constantly.

Some of us are very competitive, we need these small wins to get a hint of the dopamine we felt with sports and other things.

Suppression of emotion tends to manifest in evil ways. This is why we need to find outlets for our emotion consciously.

Your spirit is something you lose when you are young and have to find again.

We have all been lost. Without a spirit. I do not think that thoughts will ever find a spirit. I think you physically find a spirit, however it may be.

No but I have a list of things I need to do before the week is finished.

Yes

my thoughts exactly, well put OP

This nigga spitting.

Especially when you talk about competition. After I stopped playing sports in college, life kinda lost its flavor for a bit. I had so much free time that I literally didn’t know what to do with, and unfortunately idle time can lead you into negativity.

Exactly fam

I feel the same way too, too much free time for me is detrimental. I didn’t really understand that at first.

I would go from schedule to no schedule. But on the days with no schedule. I felt some type of grief or anxiety whenever I was doing something “fun”. To the point where nothing was fun anymore.

We NEED to have some sort of structure. We NEED to do things.

I have college from 8 to 11 am, after that I dont have anything steady, im thinkin of starting going to the gym and looking for a job, maybe do some courses (I already have french classes one time a week)

You are on a schedule if you go to college

Add in one or 2 things to do when you get home. A key here is time restraints.

One thing I don’t think we as humans should get stuck in is decision making.

A list is too vague

Don't have any routine since the pandemic happened and I feel like I'm not doing s*** I can't even focus on getting a job and it's making me hella depressed

No

But I'm gonna fix that

Ever since I graduated last year, I haven't had a proper schedule and it's been hurting my mental health so Imma create one to get myself back on track.
