Building a Schedule.

With summer already underway for the kids and my course ended, it's time to catch up on my sleep and get going with our daily schedule, which will run throughout the year, not just throughout the summer.  You've already seen my (kind of ridiculous) summer schedule here.  Now, here is my (kind of ridiculous) daily schedule:

Wake up - 9:00: Breakfast and free play
9:00 - 9:15: Clean up
9:15 - 10:00: Craft
10:00 - 10:15: Snack
10:15 - 11:15: Active play (outside or inside, depending on weather)
11:15 - 11:45: Directed learning
11:45 - 12:30: Lunch prep with the kids, and lunch
12:30 - 1:15: Daily chores
1:15 - 1:30: Clean up
1:30 - 2:30: Quiet time.  For everyone.  Including me.
2:30 - 2:45: Snack, for those who are awake
2:45 - 3:15: Directed play
3:15 - 3:30: Clean up
3:30 - 5:00: Free play and supper prep
5:00 - 5:30: Supper
5:30 - 7:00: Free play or movie, and supper clean-up
7:00 - 7:15: Snack
7:15 - 8:00: Getting ready for bed
8:00: Bedtime!

Yes, I know.  Looks obsessive.  But hey, schedules work for me; and, with no one else to accommodate, we can change or completely drop the schedule as I choose, if something else more interesting or important comes up.  Like I said, though, schedules work for me.  I like schedules.  They make me happy, except for one thing.

If the schedule is going to work, I have to work.

Now, I am generally a highly unmotivated person.  I have great intentions, but very little initiative.  I love me my schedules, but I'm terrible at timing, and a schedule only works if you implement it.  That takes initiative and timing.  And work.

Do you have a daily schedule?  How in-depth is it?
