Since quitting FFBE I've been missing it a little so I've modified my daily routines to make my life more like the game.

Energy management

First, I ensure that I wake up at least once every hour in the middle of the night to ensure that I am not wasting any energy I might have. I MUST have little to no energy at any given time. I can't afford to waste that valuable resource.

Gearing

I start my day by dressing myself. I don't have FFBEEquip so it takes me much longer to decide what to wear. Strangely enough, manually sorting everything is faster with my wardrobe that using the filters in FFBE. On a side note, I've defined a hairpin to be an accessory unless it covers at least 75% of the top of my head as defined by the area whose normal vector is no more than 15 degrees off from the normal vector of the surface I am standing on. (After walking on a hill, I'm reconsidering using the vector representing the force of gravity instead but the normal vectors in question would need to be 165 degrees or more off instead and that's just weird). While I'm not so insecure with my masculinity that I would refuse to wear a hairpin, Alim/Gumi is and I'm trying to emulate FFBE in my life so no women-only hairpin accessories (or hats) allowed so I probaby shouldn't have spent all that time coming up with that definition...

The worst part of dressing myself is that I need to constantly change based on what activity I'm doing. So far, I spend about 5 hours a day deciding on what to wear. Also, I hate it when my 50 ATK underwear is on an expedition to the laundry. I've tried to accelerate it by telling my wife to wash it but ended up getting a -150% debuff to all stats...

I've also renamed my water cup to "Staff of Blizzards."

Unit enhancements

Meals are quite an ordeal too as I use that to relive the joy of enhancing units. I start the day with a bowl of cereal and follow these steps:

• Get bowl from cupboard
  
• Place bowl on counter
  
• Get spoon from drawer
  
• Place spoon on counter
  
• Move bowl to table
  
• Get milk from fridge
  
• Place milk on counter
  
• Move spoon to table
  
• Move milk to table
  
• Get box of cereal from cupboard
  
• Remove 5 flakes from cereal box
  
• Place flakes on table
  
• Return cereal box to cupbaord
  
• Place 5 flakes in bowl
  
• Repeat 5 preceding steps until bowl is full
  
• Get measuring spoon (1/4 tsp size)
  
• Pour milk into measuring spoon
  
• Pour milk from measuring spoon into bowl
• Repeat 2 steps above until bowl has enough cereal
  
• Put milk on counter
  
• Put cereal box on counter
  
• Put milk in fridge
  
• Put cereal in cupboard
  
• Bring bowl of cereal and milk to sink and dump it out because I'm never going to eat that meal anyway. Instead I eat from the old bowl of cereal that I've been using for the past 4 months.
  
• Get yelled at 2 hours later for leaving a spoon on the table. (okay, that's just me being me, not from trying to live a more FFBE-like life).

Sometimes I like to enhance my cereal with dried fruit, but that requires gathering keys to unlock the individually locked raisins.

Trials

Work requires hours upon hours of talking to other people about strategy and planning and a few minutes of actual work. More than half of it is to figure out how to accommodate some really ridiculous requirements. This part of my life has not changed at all.
