Whats your meditation schedule?

[bodom]

For myself i meditate first thing in the morning at 5:30 and sit for 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes of walking meditation then finish with another 30 minute sit. I will then sit again in the evening for 30 minutes and 10 minutes of walking. Im curious to know what everyones current formal meditation schedule is. I am looking to maybe modify my own and am looking for ideas of how others practice. Thanks!

Being a chef and doing various shifts means I can not develop a regular schedule besides in the morning I sit for 40 minuets before work, and on a wednesday I go to a FWBO Meeting so Have a sit on that evening.
normelly when I get home I have a hour on the computer before bed, and try to stay mindful throughout the day, very good stress buster. I also listen to a talk before bed and meditate during that so at night it varies from 20mins to an hour depending on the length

At the moment i do 40-45 minutes when i come home from work (this varies from later afternoon to early evening because i work shifts).
I used to try morning meditation but my mind always seemed to be to drowsy so i stopped it. Never could find a good way to wake myself up enough in time lol.

I take Buddhadasa's advice and sit with my eyes open to ward off any sleepiness.I find taking a quick shower before i sit helps too.

My regular morning schedule is 30 minutes walking then 30 minutes sitting. It takes me about 15 minutes of walking to get reasonably collected. Morning is good because I can always get it done by getting up earlier...

I have much more trouble having a regular schedule in the evening, but all this depends on how your life is organised (or not...).

Yep thats why i sit first thing in the morning too. I never know what my girl has planned for later in the evening. Thanks for the reply.

1-2 hours a day. 1 hour blocks.

I think the length would change if the Jhanas could be mastered.

But no set schedule because I find the application of practice in daily life very interesting ( sampajanna). I wonder is there any practice specifically for this: Webu Sayadaw and numerous teachers mentions how it is possible to be continually aware of the breath whilst awake and sleeping.

My normal schedule is:
Twice daily: 1 hour vipassana + 5 min metta bhavana (morning and evening)
Sundays: morning as above and up to 3 hours vipassana in the evening.

At the moment its all over the place as I'm in the middle of moving house interstate.
Kind regards

Weekends: 45-60 minutes each day in the morning just after coffee (half-caf, doesn't really affect me, I tested it)
Weekdays: 40 minutes on the commute to work (challenging environment, but better than nothing) then 25-30 minutes walking on the corporate exercise track, again far from optimal but better than nothing.
Specials: An extra 30-60 minutes once or twice a week if my wife is otherwise occupied and I have the time.
