How do you pray in your daily life?

No worries :) I actually had a funny interaction with a fellow parishioner over the weekend. She told me about a period in her life a few years ago when she had confessed a sin and had been given an obedience to read the Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete by her confessor. Its typically used during Great Lent as its relatively long (2-3 hours). The confessor had intended for her to read it over the course of a week, whereas she understood that she had to read it every evening in addition to her prayer rule. She was also discouraged after a few days of this prayer routine until she saw her Confessor again and realised she'd misunderstood!

Ha! That's pretty funny and quite similar to my scenario. To me it shows the eagerness and concern of new converts (or inquirers in my case) to honor God or to not do anything "incorrectly." For some of us things need to be spelled out rather explicitly!
