That is ok - there will be days like that when you cannot stick to your usual routine but having it as a backup is good @outlander
Now take a look at your plan and slot in 3 sessions - one in the morning, afternoon and evening that are just YOU time - it doesn't have to be long - 20 minutes might be enough but it needs to be time that the only thing you do is concentrate on you and the things you like

Yeah he is a bit like a SANE mascot @outlander - that is because his mummy loves him so much she wants to show him off all the time lol
Self-care is not just about doing things that interest you Hon - it is also about things like having a bath to relax, brushing your hair (I forget to do that some days without a routine lol), finding images you like on the computer, flipping through a magazine, baking a cake... can be anything - even sitting on your own outside and watching the world go by - it is all about doing something for a little bit of time where you don't have your phone or someone in your ear wanting something from you and you let your mind focus just on YOU.
Can we work out a list of self-care activities maybe to help you choose from that list each day
