I've been learning a lot of things about the Nongli Calendar, the organ clock, and the hours of the zodiac animals. I've never been able to adhere to strict schedules because I always end up growing irritated and bored by repetitive routines. Doing the same exact thing at the same time every day is boring!

But with the zodiac hours and organ clock, it seems more like a suggestion than a strict schedule, because I can categorize my daily tasks by general themes of the hours instead of having an activity strictly set on the dot (for example, writing down checklists or setting a specific timestamp for a chore.) I can choose between anything as long as the task follows the general theme of the hour.

This gives me both freedom to do as I wish, and a sense of stability that can make my time more productive and memorable, which feels far less mechanical. Nice! 10/10!
