Routine - Monotony or Structure?
But the other side of the routine thing is that it does feel monotonous. So waking up, doing that same thing over and over again, coming back home, falling asleep, then getting back up another and just repeating the same process, it can be monotonous. And if you stop being innovative with every day, the entire process starts sucking life of you. And I think this is why people talk about work life balance, right?

But it's for adulting, it's for keeping things in order. It's for being responsible. So do I want some surprises in there? Yes, I'll throw some surprises in there for myself. But for my typical day at work, I would like it to have some type of routine to it techniques for each event that may be coming across me throughout my workday. But at home I would like it to be more off script. I would like it to be more off script
And I realized it and discovered it in a really hard way because in 2022 I resigned from my job and then I came back home for a lot of personal reasons. And after that time I haven't been in a job and it's the longest that I haven't really had something to do to work towards. And this was so frustrating, having this much amount of free time and not knowing what to do

But loving what you're doing is important. And secondly, throwing in some new techniques and new innovations in your work life, that is also important, as you said. And one more thing is that maintaining a balance, as you said that script at home. So that also made a lot of sense to me. So thank you for response and for your wonderful insights about how you manage your routine every day. Thank you

Hi Candy. So, first of all, I really liked your merch idea. Maybe I should really start selling my merch now with that coat on a t shirt and yes, indeed, your response was insightful because I completely related to you when you said that if you have a routine then you would drive everybody else crazy. And if you don't have a routine, then the case is also the same. And this is exactly what happens with me too
And then the second point that you have reached, routine will actually make things monotonous. So what suggestion I would like to give is in order to make sure your routine is not becoming monotonous, try to add certain things every day to your lifestyle. Every day. Do something new every day. Do something creatively, change things and start looking at things differently. Try to add certain things every day, learn certain things and go over

So, yes, that's there also, I believe once you have a routine, you are more productive. Once you don't have a routine, you are all over the place. So I think that is how at least it works for me. I'm more productive when I have a routine, because exactly, that's what happens, right? We try to do certain new things to keep us away from the boredom of the routine, and then in that quest, we become more productive
