what's your daily routine like?

i think it's interesting to see how people structure their day. for example a typical day for me is:
7 am - wake up, breakfast, getting ready, checking emails/ the days timetable etc
9-5 i pretty much have lectures/ seminars at uni so i'm there most days. in that time i have a one hr lunch break and possibly half an hour of free study (which i almost never utilise as i should)
then get home and shower for half 5, eat dinner by 6. then study from 6-9, making flashcards/ going over the days content.
from 9-9:30 i like to have some downtime so i don't burnout . i'll either do some nice skincare or watch something on youtube.
i like to try and be asleep by 10-10:30.
then the cycle repeats the next day.

i still think my day could be more productive and that i could give myself better breaks without falling behind but how do you guys structure your day?

(That's the ideal anyway - sleeping pattern has been ****ed recently so it's been all over the place.)
Not doing times as it varies each day

Wake up, scroll through my phone aimlessly for half an hour to enjoy the cocoon of my bed
Get dressed
Eat breakfast and, if there's time, have tea
Go to my lecture / work, or get started on uni work / housework
Have lunch and definitely tea
Do some more of whatever it is I'm doing that day - food shopping, laundry, cleaning, uni work, research, going for a walk
Make food or heat up leftovers
Eat said food
Chill either with flatmate watching TV, or video calling my fiance
Plonk around for a bit in the evening - TV, TSR, whatever else takes my fancy
Sleep

I'm on placement and it's primary teaching, thankfully they don't mind me leaving as soon as! But I do a lot of work in the evenings so it's not like I finish that early tbh.

I thought the point of getting a job was that you don't have to do homework anymore :O
