An Instagram post or a bullet list of what someone does for their routine takes about 5 seconds to digest.
It probably took 3 – 5 minutes to write it out and throw some uplifting/inspiring music up against it.
But to build the routine, to fine-tune it, to make it perfect, to get it to the point where it was no longer a list to be followed but a thing that was ingrained in everything that you did?
That took months, years, maybe even decades (I skipped days and weeks, because routines only become routines when they hit the 1-month mark).
Build your own routine.
Tweak it over time to align with your changing priorities.
Don’t stop when you miss a day; in the context of 3 years, it’s not going to matter if you missed 17 days because you were sick.
And if it starts to feel like a job, then it’s no longer a routine.
Routines become the basis for any company culture’s practices and procedures – they are softly ingrained tenets of who we are and who we want to be.
You are a company of one; therefore, it is the basis for who you are and want to be.
