Is your life on a schedule? Are all of your days controlled by the clock? Most of us find it necessary to plan and schedule our daily activities in order to accomplish what we want to get done. Life can get pretty busy whether you’re retired or still working.
Nothing wrong with sticking to a schedule. But try to include down time. Give yourself a portion of a day, or your week, when you have absolutely nothing planned. A time when you can choose to just entertain yourself with a hobby, or by watching a little mindless TV, or by doing nothing at all except relaxing. Maybe it could be a few moments set aside to just talk to God and to listen for His reply.
Even school kids get a recess period to play and take a break. Give yourself a recess. You’ll be much better equipped when the bell rings to return to your daily endeavors.
