Maintaining a structured everyday life is very important. The basic principle for the current situation can be said: "Only if we take good care of ourselves, have a good daily structure, can we also help others well." This can be achieved, for example, with a fixed plan. Most experts confirm how important and helpful such an everyday plan is ( interview from the time with Cornelia Bertsch, psycho-login and expert in health communication ). The plan serves as a kind of “timetable” for the day or for the week. The following must be taken into account:

• It looks different for everyone, but fixed routines and rituals can be helpful for everyone . This can be, for example, a breakfast together or a walk at a fixed time. Routines and rituals also provide children with orientation and a feeling of security. Older people, for example people with dementia, also benefit greatly from rituals and routines ( Deutsche Alzheimer Gesellschaft ).
• Fixed, if possible regular time slots make up this daily or weekly schedule.
• If you live in a partnership
  or family, it helps to set this schedule together . This increases the liability. You feel more obliged to adhere to and implement the agreed plan. In addition, everyone's needs can then be taken into account accordingly.
• Importantly, in addition to mandatory activities also beautiful moments or reward activities schedule that good for one.
