Schedule is critical for me but I do the oposite of you as much as I can. Try to get showered, ready, and sitting in my chair by 5-6AM. Then I spend about 30 minutes writing in a bullet journal what I plan to do today, reviewing the previous days notes. I always start the page the same way with the date, time I'm sitting down, day of the week, and how I'm feeling. Then I open my IDE and get to it. I like the morning because no one is around ever. Slack is quiet, my phone likely wont ring. It's the highest probability that I'll get uninterrupted flow state. Then after lunch when people start asking questions I switch to a more social mode and it works. I tend to not be able to recover from moving into a social mode and going back to technical work.
