In Snowmass Colorado there is a Catholic monastery. The monks live in the mountains of colorado and abide by rules set in the middle ages. Their schedule is a full but leisurely one coming from the passage stating "Idleness is the enemy of the soul. Therefore the brothers should have specified periods for manual labor as well as for prayerful reading". The brothers wake at 4:15 for prayer. Then at 8:30 they work. At 12:25 they pray again and have a vegetarian lunch. They continue to pray through out the day untill they go to sleep. Monastic goals are expressed in terms of loving God and wanting to seek him by excluding all else.
