There are very few known facts about William Shakespeare's personal life:
1. When he was baptised
2. Who his parents and siblings were
3. Who he married, and when they took out their marriage licence.
4. When he had kids, their names and what happened to them
5. When and where he died and was buried, but not how he died.
6. What property he owned in Stratford.
7. Where he lived in London (since he was called as a witness in a lawsuit involving his landlord)
8. What his will said.
9. When he died, and where he is buried.
Just about everything else is guesswork. About his professional life we know rather more; we know what theatrical company he belonged to, the name of some of the plays he performed in, the names of theatres he was part owner of, and we have copies of quite a lot of things that he wrote as part of his job as a professional writer.
It was of course different at different stages of his life. Even during the many years in which he was working in the theatre scene in London, his life would have been far from routine. During the summer months when the company was playing regularly there would have been matinée performances of a different play every day, six days a week. In the mornings they had time to rehearse new plays or brush up on old ones, and the sharers could meet and discuss new business and make plans. After the afternoon performances they could kick back and Shakespeare might have used the time for writing. Sundays of course they went to church because it was illegal not to do so (Unlike his father and daughter, Shakespeare was never accused of missing church services). Sunday afternoon and evening were more available rehearsal, planning or writing time.
Of course a lot could happen to change this routine. The company might have a private performance in someone's house in the evening or on Sunday after church. Bad weather might cancel a performance. A plague outbreak would cancel performances in the public theatres for an extended period, and in response the company would move to a new theatre or go on tour, which involved a new and gruelling routine of arriving in a town, negotiating for a venue, advertising the play (by parading around town), setting up the venue, performing, striking the venue and moving on to a new town.
In the winter when it was too dark and cold to use the outdoor theatres, the company played indoors in people's houses and, especially around Christmas and New Years, at court. Again, moving props and costumes was a problem and someone had to be in charge. Someone also had to be in charge of collecting the fee for the performance: Shakespeare is known to have sometimes done this job.
After 1608 the company was able to use the indoor Blackfriars Theatre in the winter, so their winter routines became similar to their routines in summer. Writing time in the winter would be more limited because there was less daylight and candles cost money.
