You may feel so rooted in your life's customs today that your adherence to habit borders on obsession. However, this should not dissuade you from making the most of the functional routines you have devised. Provided you do not rely on your expectations as a crutch, the schedule you follow can help you meet your daily needs and cope with the challenges that are unavoidable consequences of the unexpected. Your routine can also help you maintain an attitude of discipline today as you turn your attention to work duties or address domestic tasks, which will then likely ensure that you maintain your forward momentum from hour to hour.
The routines we adopt in our personal and professional lives provide us with a framework that ensures that we are never at a loss for some way to occupy and fulfill ourselves. The progression from one task to the next can stymie us if we are not prepared, leaving us scrambling for something to do and unable to structure our time effectively. A routine need not be set in stone--rather, it should function as a guide that offers suggestions as to how best we can use the limited hours in each day. We feel a sense of reassurance knowing which of our many duties we need to tackle next, and we are better equipped to handle multiple divergent objectives that require us to utilize vastly different parts of ourselves. The disciplined routine you adopt today will help you move through your agenda at an ambitious yet achievable pace.
