Pacing myself

There's so much I want to do on a daily basis, but sometimes I find I've tried to do so much the previous day that I'm not rested enough to do nearly as much as I should be able to. Ideally a day would include work, exercise, cleaning, more work as in poker, some rest time doing something like watching tv, hanging out with friends, paying bills, and so on. But realisitically this isn't possible, and I'm learning the hard way. Gradually I'm getting off of my sinusoidal lifestyle that I lived in college and growing up with a more linear schedule. I just need to make sure this slope stays positive. I'm 90% +/- 5% confident that this is my geekiest post ever, by the way.
