Working from home for 11 years. Never followed strict routine like this. I work when I have work to do (which is all the time) and usually stop after dinner, and I take rest when I feel tired. Often having long lunch with beer / wine and sometimes have rest after it. Sometimes working in the midnight. I don't need predefined time for exercise - our homestead keeps me busy with physical work like gardening and woodworking all the time. We live in a hilly rural area with no car, so going to buy groceries is a good exercise as well. All due respect to the author but routine like this scream "boring to death" for me. I can't imagine committing to such way of living unless I had no other choice. Like cstross said above, the output / result of your work is far more important. YMMV.
