For those who do this, how do you guys plan each day? I used to work on a schedule system, but now I do a different system.

In Microsoft Word, I have these numbered 1-4:
1. Play games.
2. Browse the internet.
3. Learn about coding on Codecademy.
4. Play outside.

I use Random.org's random number generator to figure out what I'm going to do for most of the day.

It doesn't feel right, so I think I'm going to change back to my schedules that I usually had. Mainly because if I want to do something else, I feel like I can't do that because I have to do what my the document said to do.

So, how do you guys plan your days?

I am very reliant on ingrained habit. I do everything in a pre-ordained order. Different days of the week have their own patterns so there is a weekly cycle and I have seasonal cycles and so on. I guess this is instinctive human behaviour. In my case, changes to my patterns are a lot tougher on me than on most people. I engage in a lot of avoidance behaviour to minimise the amount of activity that diverges from my normal patterns.

A random number generator as a means to plan my day would be very unsettling.
