Time moves like a rolling stone, especially when life becomes too repetitive. This quarantine has been a lesson in how monotonous routine living can be. It's a bit of a conundrum though because I find the best way for myself to stay productive is to have a morning ritual. Wake up, hit the peloton, shower, coffee, and journal for 20 minutes. This routine always seems to put my head in a better place. So the question here is how do you have routine without it speeding up time? I like to switch my morning routine up every three months or so but the key factor is always starting it with movement. Whether it's walking and taking pictures at sunrise or going for a run movement always seems to lead to a brighter day. Then from there, I have a list of things I need to get done during the day that I have made the night before. My schedule is never the same and this had made life as a freelancer much more freeing than a 9-5. Without being too repetitive with these blogs, I frequently talk about compounding which is the power of doing one small thing daily for an extended period of time. The photos below show my roommate on one of his daily peloton rides. Like clockwork, I can count on the sounds of him huffing and puffing on that bike at 12 pm every single day. His dedication really shows in his physique and it also bleeds into other aspects of his life. From eating to walking the dog, I can tell you where my roommate will be at any given time of the day. My roommate is very rigid in his routine and although that may be repetitive he has compounded his performance as a result. In closing, if you want better results in your life a little routine goes a long way.
