I don't have a specific schedule for sewing/quilting. I have an extremely bad back and cannot sit at the sewing machine for long. I iron on a small board in my easy chair. Also have macular degeneration and vision is getting so much worse so I work a while and then have to take a break to rest my eyes. I think it is important to keep going, just to do the best you can with what you have left. This week my needle threader on my machine quit and I had to have my husband thread the machine for me. Gonna have to get that fixed!
