Setting up a daily routine

I need to find some resources that show an example of daily routine (such as puja ect) and how to perform these rituals.

TIA

    Why?

    If you're going to implement changes to your routine, make small adjustments at first. Ease yourself into new habits and mindsets, and do one thing at a time. Don't discover new rituals and go hell-bent into doing them straight away...

    Nobody ever got into a brand new car, and never having had a single lesson, began to drive....

    It's mostly common sense. Work out your best time of day, work out what time you have available, establish a daily routine, start small and be realistic. Prioritise.
    Obviously it will depend a lot on your personal circumstances and level of experience.

    Everyone has different routines that are important to them. I'd suggest learning about rituals first, and decide which ones you want to implement. THEN figure out how to work them in. They are about devotion and practice, not about doing just to do them. There are also a lot of different rituals depending on what "branch" you practice within. If your heart isn't in it, you won't stick with it. You won't learn what your heart is in until you start learning on your own what they are all about. Following someone else's routine isn't going to do that for you.
