I am a creature of habit in many ways, but the creative side of me enjoys spontaneous change and adjustments on the fly.
When I start new things and dedicate portions of time to new projects, my routine tends to suffer while I sort out how to make it all work together again.
I like to read and write and work out just about every day. I like to get my work in order and have a solid understanding of the goals and tasks of the day each morning. Doing that stuff each day takes time and finding the time to keep doing that stuff in a new routine isn’t always easy.
But I don’t want to be so dedicated to anything that I am not constantly learning and stretching my mind. I want to keep reading and writing each day. The same goes for my body and general health.
The trick is balancing what I believe is good for the body and mind with the work I need to get done to make a positive impact in the world.
