The Power of Routine

Schedules, which are boring and constricting by definition, are the essential source of effectiveness, satisfaction, and results. It offers a clear framework for our existence, and as such it offers a great deal of certainty, which is really the feeling of being in control of our lives.
Flexibility is very important but a plan, however loosely drawn, can be a great ally in getting where we want to go and improving the quality of our lives in the process.

Let me start by dwelling on the fact that the definition of a routine is an activity that is done regularly.

Master you mornings

In its form, it can be as uncomplicated as having a cup of coffee in the morning as it can be as elaborate as having a schedule for reading a newspaper or making breakfast and getting ready for the work of the day. The main idea is, however, to be consistent.

Find your flow with a routine

 Having a schedule helps to predict certain actions or events and thus causes the brain to be less drained when making decisions on what to do next, which leaves the brain to focus more on intellectual matters.

It is therefore clear, ''that structure will go a long way in improving time management''.

One can prioritize his or her to-do list and reduce procrastination because every task is assigned a slot of time within the day. It can also result in high performance and a feeling of being on top of things hence leading to great achievement.

Building a better you

 A routine is beneficial as it allows the formation of some new good habits.

 Whether it is exercise, proper diet or adequate sleep among others, their incorporation into peoples’ lifestyles is easier when it is routine.

The Hidden Benefits of a Structured Life

 Besides productivity and optimization, routines are good for psychological health.

They enable people to build a quite stable and predictable social environment, which is especially helpful during stress.

 As mentioned, regularity provides some structure to our lives so that our body can better prepare for sleep, lessens feelings of anxiety and contributes to a better mood.

 Also, it can create focus and a direction in life is achieved gradually as we work towards the big picture.

But it is essential to realise that all this structure can become rather oppressive after a while. Perlmutter by awarding pension points for flexibility reduces rigidity and stress in the work process. I can confirm that is an acceptable thing to do once in a while to observe the lay of life or for some other reasons.

In other words, the general objective is to work out an optimal balance between order and chaos.

Life Transformation

 Establishing a proper schedule presupposes several stages.

 The first of them is to determine your objectives and tasks. 

Where do you want to be?

 What specific behaviours do you wish to develop?

 Having set your objectives, justify your day into time portions and then assign your work portions to those time portions. 

Ensure that you do not stuff your schedule way beyond the limit because not all activities need much of your time.

There must also be time for fun; how much depends on the specific dependence.

 A routine should actually be an agenda that doesn’t cause any strain. Include an element of fun that you enjoy, be it reading, playing with friends or families or just relaxing.

Cultivate success

 Routine is one of the most efficient strategies to reach success and self-development. 

In fact, by giving structure, order, and the illusion of control, it can make life all the better. 

Nonetheless, the same should not become a routine and definitely should not be monotonous to discourage any individual from continuing with the exercises. In this way, we can establish the necessary routine and, consequently, use its positive effects to make people’s lives happier and more productive.😊
