I Have No Morning Routine and I don’t care!
Routines are overrated
I have read with interest several stories about morning routines recently on Medium. I have enjoyed them, and they have got me thinking about my own lack of a pattern in the morning.
I get up at a different time most days. I sometimes don’t shower till late in the day, or I shower before breakfast. If I eat breakfast, it’s always at a different time of day. I never start my workday at the same time, and each day tends to look quite different from the previous and next day.
Variety is the spice of life
I’m ok with this. I like the lack of structure and fluidity of my week. There is some pattern within the absence of routine. There is consistency in the inconsistent, and I work well within it without getting bored.
Inconsistent consistency
I generally loosely plan my work week on a Friday afternoon, then firm it up on Sunday. Part of my lack of routine is that I work on a casual basis as an executive trainer. Therefore I only work when I have training booked in. This means that each week will look different based on what work I have scheduled.
Different day, different exercise, different alarm set
