Daily structure while out of work after 7 years as an IT help-desk technician

Since my layoff as an IT help-desk technician I have no real structure. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I also want time to exercise and to see people. What helps you switch off?

Write a short list the night before. Waking up with a plan is a relief.

I use one day for networking, one for applications and one for learning something. Variety helps.
