The problem though is that an Office with proper antiphons is tough… the antiphons for tonight get chanted once a year unlike the antiphons for ordinary days that get chanted weekly. So you never get that good at them except for the rare ones that use a common melody for different texts.

WOW,
I admire the dedication. As one who is new to the Catholic faith, I consider prayer as conversations with God and so I try not to schedule those, unless I know I will be busy, as He is never too busy for me. As soon as I hear something that awakens me, before my eyes fly open, I say a prayer of thanks. If I fall back asleep, I say another and then try to physically get out of the bed. For the most part, I’ve been saying prayers of gratitude, insight, guidance, God’s Will and anything else I need as a tool to make at work and in this world - not of it. Once in my office and at my desk, I say a prayer and then I’m pretty much chatting/praying all day. Humans will test you
, so I’m literally praying all day 
. I try to pray the Rosary every day/night, mostly I try to get it in during the day because life can get hectic.
As one responder wrote, I’ve seen what a routine can do for me and praying/talking to God is not something I think I want to tire of :tsktsk:, so my routine isn’t and my prayer “schedule” is always open because as long as I have breath, I’m always free to pray/talk with God because He is worthy of all my time, not just what I schedule:bowdown:

Rhiannonh, I’m so sorry that you so deeply misunderstand the divine office and other “set prayers.” You obviously have no idea of the richness of a prayer life based on liturgy and vocal prayer, it’s exactly the opposite of what you claim here. Yes, you are very very wrong in your assumption.
