Creating a routine is the deliberate decision to conduct your life in a specific way through healthy repetition. It is one of the secrets to happiness and success.
1. Routine makes us more efficient.
When you have a routine, you lessen the need to make decisions. It lets us know exactly what chores we need to complete each day without having to ponder, deliberate, or think too much. When we finish a task, we know what follows next without having to think about it too much. Tasks get standardized, and we become more efficient consequently.
2. It reduces our need to plan.
When you carefully develop a routine to follow, you reduce the need to organize your activities every morning, such as how much time to devote to a certain job. It transforms your day from one of planning to one of doing.
3. It builds structure in our life.
In our lives, a daily routine offers structure and logical sequence. It serves as the basis for our daily lives and activities. We quickly became acquainted with and at ease with what we had to accomplish each day.
4. Saving time.
Our most valuable resource is time. Time is the most important resource we have since it cannot be restored once gone. We save time by sticking to a routine that would otherwise be spent on planning, decision-making, and preparation. Our habit has defined our timetable, allowing us to utilize our time efficiently.
5. Create positive behaviors.
Repetition is the key to developing good habits. When you create a customized routine that works for you, you assist in the formation of positive habits by encouraging yourself to perform the same chores. Just like brushing your teeth every morning, sticking to a routine allows us to cultivate habits that align with our objectives and desires. (Think about maintaining a diet, exercising every day, and reading several books each month—if you don't fit them into a routine, they will never develop excellent habits.)
"Habits are concrete forms of rhythm, are that portion of rhythm which helps to keep us alive" - Julio Cortázar
6. Breaks negative behaviors.
While our routine helps us build healthy habits that help us reach our full potential, it also helps us eliminate harmful behaviors that do not serve us well. We may gradually replace harmful habits with good ones by repeating them regularly.
7. It allows us to improve our abilities.
Because you do something regularly, you grow better at it. This is one of the keys to mastering any skill. Consider a talent you possess. Consider how you learned to ride a bicycle. Day by day, your skill grew, and today you don't have to repeat it. All of this has been assimilated by your brain and has become normal.
8. It enables us to finish the most vital tasks.
When you properly plan and follow a personal routine, you will be able to prioritize the most important tasks above those that distract you. There is no place for inattention or desertion. Because the most important chores have been set, you will know how to finish what is vital and not waste time and effort on trivial things if you stick to your program.
9. Priorities.
The advantage of creating a set routine is that you will be forced to prioritize and pick what is important. Rather than making these judgments daily, you will already know what you need to do and in what sequence you need to accomplish it since you will have meticulously planned it.
10. It lessens the need for tenacity and willpower.
Brushing your teeth in the morning is something you do because it has become a regular "habit," not because you are driven or have exceptional willpower. You don't even think, "Now I have to clean my teeth," you just do it. The same is true for all the things you incorporate into your routine; the first few times, you will need to follow the pattern exactly, but after that, you will do it without even noticing it.
"We are what we repeatedly do" - Aristotle
11. Procrastination is reduced.
Procrastination is decreased when a sequence of jobs and activities becomes habitual. It gets imprinted in your system, and you will practically automatically perform it. I've long wanted to include meditation in my daily practice. I was able to avoid procrastination and began including 15 to 20 minutes of meditation every day. Today, over 4 months later, I don't have to think about it; I do it since it's become a habit.
12. It boosts self-esteem.
When you follow a regimen and keep to it, you will gain self-confidence and feel enormous satisfaction every day. You will have enough fuel to finish the program and receive the rewards. One of the biggest reasons individuals struggle to change their lives for the better is a lack of self-confidence.
13. Aid in stress reduction and relaxation.
There will always be things beyond your control that you must learn to accept. However, there is a lot you can manage, especially if you stick to a schedule. When you plan and keep to a schedule, you alleviate a lot of stress since you won't have to think about and worry about what has to be done. The act of "doing" offers you a sense of control and allows you to relax instead of worrying about activities that need to be completed.
14. It saves us time.
Contrary to popular belief, sticking to a regimen that emphasizes repetitive activities gives us more free time to perform the things we like. It is not necessary to arrange or include all areas of life into a daily routine. There is a time and place for leisure, relaxation, and "not doing," and keeping to a schedule allows you to make time for these activities. Indeed, as previously indicated, our routine improves and increases our efficiency in executing certain duties. This means that by repeating specific things in our routine, you will typically take less time to finish them.
15. It helps you achieve your goals.
Your ambitions and goals are rarely realized all at once. Successful people attain their objectives by repeating the same things "over and over again". Athletes improve their skills via consistent practice. Repetition is how an artist improves his craft. Creating and keeping to a routine that is congruent with your goals is one of the surest methods to achieve success.
16. It helps your brain work less hard.
Our brains are "made" to work as little as possible; sticking to a routine will make your thinking organ happy since it won't have to continually worry about how to get dressed, what time to wake up, what to do right now, or what to eat for breakfast.
Creating a routine is the deliberate decision to conduct your life in a specific way through healthy repetition. It is one of the secrets to happiness and success.
Everyone is unique, with their own set of objectives, requirements, aspirations, and resources. That is why, after carefully selecting what we want to achieve in our lives, we must build a routine. The rewards will be well worth it. It is never too late to begin a new life.
