I’ve had a love-dislike relationship with routines over the years.
Some routines simply have nothing but positive impact. Telling your significant other what you appreciate about them every night, for example.
Other routines (six in particular) set you up for an incredible day.
But some routines put you in a rut, prevent you from doing meaningful work and merely close the door to potential and surprise and helpful interruption.
That still being said, when the work you’re doing – the change you seek to make – becomes hard, routine can carry you through.
Writing 2,000 words every day or having that trusted friend look at your work over every lunch hour or starting to make calls right at 8 a.m. every. single. day.
The routines worth building are not necessarily in the work itself, but in the starting of the work.
Once you build a habit of starting, it doesn’t quite matter how hard it is anymore, does it?
Stay Positive & Put It In Motion
