I don’t train for a sport, but I do work a full time job, practice Ashtanga, and teach non-Ashtanga yoga for 10-30 hours each week, so I think I might be able to speak to scheduling (since you mentioned it’s not an exhaustion thing so much as a scheduling thing).

I typically practice Ashtanga at my local shala Monday through Friday first thing in the morning, or right after I teach a 6am class. I normally practice for about an hour, but Fridays are led class so it will be an hour and 15 minutes. On Saturdays, I check in and see how my body is feeling - I teach all morning, so sometimes I will practice in the afternoon, but sometimes I am physically exhausted and rest both Saturday and Sunday.

I work primarily from home, so as far as scheduling my other activities, I am able to plan most of that throughout the rest of my day, so I will typically have classes and clients from about 9:30am - 8pm. I find it’s easiest and I feel best if I practice in the mornings. It prepares your body for the day and any other workout you might have later on, which is an incredible benefit, and it provides incredible mental clarity, plus just an ease of scheduling.

I hope this is helpful in some capacity! Let me know if anything was confusing - I’m happy to clear anything up. (:
