Structure to my day help needed

Mostly it is built around the main things, waking and getting up, getting dressed, going to bed and meals.

Then during each day you think about what you want to do. You already have walking the dog,  but you might want to read for an hour, or spend an hour or two learning something new like a language or skill or just a new subject. Then you could have a clothes washing day. Maybe a day when you do some baking or batch cooking.

Perhaps time when you do a hobby, or games. Perhaps times to spend online.

You don't have to do everything every day. So some things might be Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. Others at weekends. It will break the week up and give you things to look forward to. You are trying to make some routines. 

You can make a calendar. It is best not to get to detailed be else it is too rigid and it can become hard to do them (demand avoidance) or become stressful if you don't do them.

It is really up to you to think of some activities you would like you do each week.

Thank you I'll consider this when I make one!

I did notice you have your times when you come on here TheCatWoman , which I thought was a good idea. 

It is a problem with smart phones, it's easy to just keep checking when I'm feeling distractable and unfocused, so I am ad-hoc. At least it is better than Facebook, I came off that at least, as it just keeps showing you stuff to earn them money.

I made a list of things, some jobs for around the house, and some things I liked doing, some things to learn. Then made a schedule to fit things in (could just be 'time to do jobs', 'time to relax', etc. and then pick something off the list.).

I know you're with you parents, you could see if they have any things you could help with to add to your routine? It does help you have structure and you might feel good about helping them out? This is just how I function, it's not how everyone works, so I hope you can find what works for you!

Thank you! Will certainly get a dog walk in it!

I always structure my days around what needs to be done, then what I'd like to do. So its get up, make coffee read emails, newspaper, come on here. Then breakfast,  get washed and dressed, sort out any laundry that needs doing, go shopping, or housework, stuff like that, then in the afternoon, I will read non fiction, do gardening, walk with Fearn, what I do during the day depends on how long I will walk Fearn, like today I went to Bangor in an unsuccessful attempt to buy clothes, so I didnt' do any reading and Fearn gor a shorter walk. Evening's  satart with the 6pm news, then come on here for a bit, dinner and telly until after newsnight, then I read fiction for a couple of hours.
