I plan my food for a week. It helps me make healthier choices if I already have everything planned and bought.

If I get up earlier, sometimes the snooze wins on work days, I'm able to plan my day better. I don't lay things out or anything but if I have the time in the morning I can plan out how my workday goes. Usually I'm more productive on those days. If I smash my snooze button, usually my day gets a later start. It takes me longer to get awake and fully into my job.

If I have my actual evening planned and I'm not drained from work then I'm very productive with chores and whatever else I have planned in my personal life.

If I do plan, my whole life runs better. I get things done with less procrastination and my personal and home life work better. If I don't, it's when things are not getting done in my home life or personal life. I procrastinate and end up wasting too much time on stupid crap.

I think everyone should somewhat schedule their lives. It provides a great structure to it.

I get very grumpy when people inconvenience my plans repeatedly. Say family members or friends who keep "asking for help" every weekend. I get grumpy I can't get a proper de-stressed weekend. Usually if that keeps happening and I don't get that relaxing few days, I'm wound up and more irritable the rest of the week. The rest of all my plans get stressed and it's a mess.
