Blake isn't simply listing activities in their proper hours—he's describing a hierarchy of consciousness that modern life has turned upside down. Notice that thinking comes first, positioned as the necessary foundation before any action can have meaning; we've inverted this into constant doing while our minds scatter across a dozen tabs. The real thrust here is that Blake believed each hour demands a different quality of attention, and we've collapsed them all into frantic simultaneity. A person checking email during breakfast, thinking about work while eating dinner, and scrolling in bed has violated Blake's elegant sequence—and likely finds themselves both exhausted and ineffective because no single act receives the full measure of mind it deserves.
