Timing & context
The exercise and walk durations are explicit; their displayed boundaries assume no gap between the activities.
Kafka explicitly describes his established schedule over the preceding six weeks. Several times vary. The one exceptional night ending at six is excluded; his recurring writing session is split visually at midnight.
His letter of 1 November 1912 describes the preceding month and a half, with some recent disruptions.
