A good plan should cover all eventualities including disruption to routine, I thnk?

That was always my downfall in the last couple of years.....I made a routine that was so difficult to keep, or not enjoyable, that it lead to failure and then I gave up. If you have two hours worth of stuff you are supposed to do before starting work the life becomes pretty grim. I think I am going to focus on things I like, that help me feel good and that keep me well, but not be fanatical about it. I have practically no routine now though, so I am just looking for a balanced place to start
