Why Routine Is Good for You
You hear people refer to routine as being dull or boring. It implies that life is the same from one day to the next.
But, routines are a great way to get your work done. They’re also a great means for teams to work together toward a common goal.
When everyone has an idea of what needs to get done, projects tend to run smoother. Each member knows what they need to do.
We also have routines in our society. In some ways, laws are routines.
You know that you aren’t supposed to run a red light and that can be thought of as a routine. When you come to a red light, you stop as best as you can.
There may be instances when you unsuccessfully try to beat one here or there. But, most people will stop for red lights.
To no one’s surprise this helps to reduce accidents.
It Starts at Home
You set up routines for your kids in the form of chores. You know that certain tasks need to get done each week.
Many parents tie kids’ allowances to these chores. When the kids finish their chores, they receive their allowances.
It teaches the kids a work ethic. They need to perform tasks, and when they complete those tasks, they receive money for them.
When you pay bills, you tend to have a routine for this. Some people like to get everything sorted on one day and pay all the bills on that day.
Others will pay them whenever they receive them. Others, still, will set up automatic payments through their bank or brokerage.
There isn’t a right answer for how to do this. Whatever works for you is the right answer.
But, the method you choose will be routine.
When There Is No Routine
Contrast this with people who don’t have routines to manage their lives. They tend to handle tasks when the mood strikes them.
These people are usually late with their bills and have messy environments. Some of these people will say that this way of life works for them.
Others call it chaos. It’s something you can easily avoid setting up routines for the tasks you need to complete.
Of course, people are not robots. They do break up their routines on occasion.
You may use weekends to do activities that you don’t get to do during the work week. Also, many families use vacations to help break up their routines.
