The daily cycle of services is, one might say, the “liturgical clock” the Church has lived by day after day for many centuries. The daily cycle took shape in monasteries, though there was a time when laymen observed it daily as well.
If you know at least a little bit about how Church worship is organized, any “average” parishioner burdened with work and family duties can add some elements of the Church’s worship to his home rule and thus be able to stay in the rhythm of the Church.
