The younger generations have yet to make interior scheduling, as many of their parents resist scheduling. There is a false idea that "down time" is a necessity. There, also, is a hugely false idea that one should have entertainment daily.

No longer, and I would guess, that there never has been any neutral territory in the world for the imagination. If we are merely "vegging out" or "chilling out", we are not concentrating on God.
The New Age ideal of meditation outside of the reading of Scriptures or the thinking on the Attributes of God leads not only to narcissism, but occult influences.
Schedules make us disciplined and accountable to God, not merely to ourselves.
As humans with a body and a soul, we absolutely need schedules to tame the flesh and nourish the spirit.
When I teach, one of the first things I make a student do is a time management chart. I find up to 27 wasted hours per week per student.
Adults need to do the same. Scheduling also takes away fatigue, which is created when we have interruptions in our normal bodily patterns.
Homeschooling moms and dads who do not have schedules for their children, mostly because the parents are not scheduled, are not forming the children in the virtues. Only the externalizing of discipline can create the interior discipline needed to be a saint.
A schedule also entails making a "prepared environment" for work, for prayer, for leisure.
