Does this schedule make sense, or should I make some changes, like moving exercise to the evenings instead of the mornings?
I'm trying to optimize my daily routine. I'm a lawyer (specialized in corporate law) and a writer. I have 7 novels written, but none published yet, so I'm trying to schedule daily time for editing/re-writing and a time for creative writing (writing new content).
Does that routine make sense, or should I make some changes, like reading fiction after lunch and before writing or moving exercise to the evenings instead of the mornings?
