Additions to Prayer
Question
My prayer routine is as follows: Morning Prayer – the morning blessings, the passage of the daily offering, “You are He before the world was created…” and “as written in Your Torah,” Barukh She’amar, Psalm of Thanksgiving, Yishtabach, the Shema and its blessings, and the Amidah. Afternoon Prayer – the Amidah. Evening Prayer – the Amidah.
Does my custom conform to Jewish law? (What I really mean is that anything I do not regard as obligatory, I do not read / pray…)

Search online for “The Siddur of Individuals,” which tries to bring some order to this issue.
