Following a routine everyday...

I think making a routine is very important when you are a worker in a company. I don't like to wake up in the early morning but because I have to reach the site in the time, I have to wake up early and it makes my routine. My routine is a little different on Sunday, when I sleep to my full content. I think that is okay to have one day like that. I think it is good to have a single routine if it is a good one, like you include the early morning bath, exercises, work in the day, then some entertainment on the evening. If it is healthy routine then it is good to have that routine.

Kiran, its a nice discussion. Here is what I feel, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE A ROUTINE. No matter whether its boring or interesting. I used to wake up at 5-30 a m in the morning since I was a boy. No matter whether its a week day or week end. When I go out, I can pick all my things from a particular place, say, my wallet, watch, cell etc. because once I return I put them in the proper place. It gives me a sense of calm and coolness. Of course I have a tip for those who feels boring after a while. Just think of the PLANETS that are doing the same for millions and billions of years. We, after all going to do it for 70-80 years. :) Is it a big time. Not at all. Hope I am rightly expressed my views.

Very Good discusion Kiran! I love to follow a set and fixed routine and I love doing it . I need to be at my work place at scheduled time before that kids need to go to school at the fixed time, so specially on working days, we are compelled to follow a stricter routine, else everything will go haywire. I do not get bored, rather I enjoy doing activities at the designated time. Our lunch time is fixed in office and dinner time is also fixed, in the sense that we take our dinner between 8.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m.. Though the routine gets disturbed during weekends, but that cannot be helped because we can afford to alter the schedule on Saturdays and Sundays. Have a great day! Deepak

Hello Kiran, As a working lady I too have routine, except on Sundays. If there is no special program on Sunday then I prefer to sleep some more time (catching up the balance sleep, lol). Sometimes I felt bored with the same routine on everyday but upto a certain extent it helps to finish the whole works within the stipulated time.

It's good for some things, ie school, work, house cleaning, but if you follow the same routine every day, all your life, that could be pretty boring.

I don't see the advantange of the every day routine, I understand the weekday routine but I like to be able to sleep in on off work days. I think that it depends on the person, some people need the every day routine.

A good point here,,I do wake up early regularly,,,,,and then again , I go back to take an hour for MY SELF,,once in a fortnight.just depends upon the routine for the day..also it depends upon the MOOD

I think it depends on the person. Some people feel really good with a routine, while others get really bored. I happen to belong to the second category, but I am fully aware of the fact that a lot of people do not feel the same at all...

I really dislike being tied to a routine. I would prefer to just go along with my day and see what comes of it. Of course I tend to the things that need tending to but I would much prefer to do it as I get to it, unless there is some kind of time restraint. I hate to be tied down by a schedule because I may not feel like doing a particular thing at the set time. Boy, I sound pretty scattered don't I? I'm not really. I always take care of my obligations as quickly as possible. Then I can be free to let the rest of the day just flow naturally.
