Routine Yuck

Today I got up and did what was needed to be done. I didn’t think about it; I didn’t grumble to myself; I just did it. What a difference that made in setting my day up to be successful.  I tend to be more of an artistic type so routines are not my thing. However, they need to be.

Routines are important they make everything go smoothly and free your time. I am always worrying about what needs to be done around the house or my laundry or whatever. I worry so much it wears me out I may as well have just done it. It would be much simpler and off my mind.

Do you find yourself being that way or am I a freak of nature?

Routine to me is confining and ridged. I am not a creature of habit; I like variety and freedom but there comes a time in one’s life we have to look at the cold hard facts – routines are important in life.

Without consistency, nothing can be accomplished. And without a routine, it is hard to have consistency – something always comes up that will distract you.

My commitment is to start carving out routines in my daily life things that when I do them consistently will make my life run smoothly. I don’t mean work routines. I am good at that but day to day commitments to do things like to make my bed daily,  hang up my clothes when I take them off, do the dishes as soon as I eat… I sound like a teenager right! Well, they say you are only as young as you feel!
