Your Pattern idea is super!! I "scan" what the deal is when I get up and take care of that. But the rest of the day is similar to what you are doing to keep on the right track. Now and then, I deviate from this, but best to stick to the usual. I do a daily walk, PT stretches, hydrate and take meds in addition to two meals a day. I try to remain non-processed, avoid sugar, moderate wheat, dairy, etc.
