Patch day question

I just picked up my first prescription of patches, once a week 0.05 patches. I'm nervous to start and reading about other experiences. I'm trying to figure out the best day to start given I don't know how I will specifically react.

I wanted to start today but my anxiety was through the roof so I thought it best not to add something on top of that anxiety. I'm thinking of starting tomorrow but would prefer my patch days to be Friday or Saturday.

My question is, has anyone cut their patch to start one day and then use the second half of the patch later in the week? For instance, if I cut this first patch and put it on tomorrow and then put the other half on Saturday morning, and then put a whole patch on Friday next week, would that work? Anyone have any experience with this? I'm currently off work and was hoping to see how this would affect me before going back which is why I'm debating about doing this. I'm not sure if that's really the right approach to take the first week and split the dose vs. putting a single patch on. I'm also nervous to jump right in to a 0.05 patch dose.
