Every morning I get up and commence my morning routine. I have to. If I don’t, I’m late for school.
Having been diagnosed with ADD in high school, I’ve incorporated “coping techniques” into my life, one of which is a routine. The downside to a routine is that there’s nothing new about it… ever.
I know what you’re thinking: That’s kind of the point.
But I don’t just have a morning routine; I have a daily, weekly, and semester-ly routine. Though I don’t mind a little monotony here and there, a whole life of it can be exhausting!
No more!! I declare. I am breaking free! I will no longer be a slave to my routine… merely a hired servant.
Unfortunately, I still have to do homework, and go to work, and of course there’s the matter of hygiene. Therefore, I vow to see my routine in a different way. The little things, if you will, of my life that normally get passed up or go unnoticed.
I'm excited for your coping techniques, but it makes life easier when you know what you're going to do (even if you don't have ADD). I love it, but kids don't exactly have a set routine. :)
