*This is a SFW work of fiction as told from the perspective of the character Sandra Perez, the main protagonist of Monterey Valley (WARNING! Link=NSFW)*

The short answer is: Early.

Really, any scheduling takes only a small amount of discipline to adhere to it.

I am in my forties now. I have even less time than I did as a youth to chase after any sorts of flights of fancy. I learned that lesson at a young age shortly after my parents passed. I was still a teenager then and I still retained some bad habits from my youth. I wanted the fun out of life without the hassle of working for it. As the sole inheritor of my parents estate however, I quickly learned that was not how this world works. The fun things in life oft cost.

Unlike many others however, I had the willpower, the resolve, to identify those habits in my life that were at odds with my future, and squash them underfoot like an overripe caqui. In months I had turned around a negative feedback loop of poor dopamine dumping decisions into a clear path forwards that ensured I would not only be able to enjoy finer things in life, but also enjoy my hobbies and interests to their fullest extent
