What is your daily prayer life like?

Liturgy of the Hours? Daily Mass? Morning Offering? Centering prayer? The rosary? Meditation?

I'm just curious as to what other people do.

I start off with the Morning Offering then, when I'm busy doing the breakfast stuff, I try to do my centering prayer, when I run in the afternoon - the rosary.

Only problem is when I'm on the internet - huge gap - I feel guilty that I should be continuing my "pray without ceasing" - but I can't keep all those thoughts in my head.

Mine is mostly informal - not ritual prayers for the most part, but my own speaking to the Divine, to the BVM, and to my deceased spouse.
If I remember, upon awakening, I thank God for being granted another day and ask for the strength and wisdom needed.
Grace before meals, again if I remember - average once per day.
Some praying while driving, and sign of the cross upon stopping for a red light.
Best praying at night, again informally, speaking to Each of the Trinity; thanking for the day just passed and acknowledging misdeeds and deeds not done.
Some special intentions throughout the day for those in need.

I no longer feel guilt, if I ever did, for that which I do not accomplish, as I believe the Lord knows my soul and my capabilities and struggles and loves me despite my imperfections. And, yes, I spend too much time on the internet.
