I meant to reply sooner, but the week ran away from me and I kept thinking I had already written back.

I tried that schedule you suggested, and it actually helped me get through the day without feeling scattered.

The trick for me was keeping the first hour quiet, with no extra tabs open and no jumping between tasks.

Once I stuck to one thing at a time, everything felt less noisy and I was more patient by the afternoon.

I also took your advice about going outside for a short walk, and that turned out to be better than another cup of coffee.

It cleared my head enough to finish what I had been avoiding.

I am still not perfect with it, though, and I catch myself drifting whenever a message pops up.

Next week I want to try batching the small chores together instead of sprinkling them all over the day.

That seems like it would make the evening feel less crowded too.

Anyway, thanks for nudging me to change it up a little.

Reference: reward acknowledgment and status review

I was thinking about what you said, and I agree that keeping things simple is probably the best way to handle it.

When I overplan every little step, I end up doing less and feeling more tired for no good reason.

So today I just made a short list, picked the first item, and stopped worrying about the perfect order.

It felt a lot easier to get moving that way.

I also remembered your point about leaving a little blank space in the afternoon instead of stuffing every minute.

That made a difference because something unexpected came up and I didn't feel immediately behind.

I am trying to treat the day more like a pace I can keep rather than a sprint I need to win.

It is calmer, and honestly I am less cranky by dinner.

If you want, I can send over the tiny routine I wrote down, but it is nothing fancy.

Mostly it is just a reminder to begin, keep it light, and not restart the whole plan every time one hour goes weird.
