Wasn't sure where else this post could go.
I was wondering how others structure their day in relation to both disciplined writing and exercise?
When I read about successful writers, I find most of them get up before dawn to start writing. This sounds great in theory, getting writing done before distractions set in but in order to wake up at 4am or 5am you need to go to bed at an overly sensible time, which I find difficult as I feel I need 2-3 hours to decompress from my day as a LP. During the school holidays and weekends other things take over. But writing before the day really gets going seems like the ideal solution.
I've also decided to get back into shape but focusing on this it feels like a conflict. Leaving exercise until last thing in the day when I've written, cooked and cleaned up feels like setting myself up to fail. But doing the writing later on means I'm likely to be a lot less productive.
Writing puts me in a good mood, as I feel I've 'fulfilled my purpose' IYSWIM. But I've also struggled with depression and exercise keeps me on the up.
How have others structured their day in order to get both done?
