What are your daily habits?

ROUTINES, REPEAT ROUTINES

My interpretation of daily habits is that they are routines followed almost religiously day, after day, after day. To some extent, the film “Groundhog Day” comes to mind because of the nature of repetition. However, in my case, it’s not forgetting today what happened yesterday but rather adding to my daily routines in a way that stretches them along some sort of historical continuum.

These daily habits that have been thought about for too long maybe come monotonous. They happen “automatically” and probably help to keep some sort of level playing field in life.

If they are not carried out, one’s household and activities schedule would quickly disrupt and become environmental chaos. My daily routines are all about order in my life.

I won’t put a time on these routines because they vary but the order is pretty accurate and reflects a day in my life.

Up by 730 am
Make porridge for breakfast
Make my one cup of strong coffee for the day from Nescafe 43
Do the dishes
Put the washing in the washing machine
Take the washing out of the washing machine
Take the washing upstairs to be hung out on our deck
Undertake personal ablutions as necessary
Do some writing, some editing, and some reflection on the news of the day that happens to be online

Write comments for incorporation into LinkedIn and the online versions of The Australian and the Northern Territory News
Have a bit of a rest
Get lunch at home or go to the subway at Northlakes for a subway lunch
Undertake any shopping that needs to be done for fruit cereal, and other commodities and
Necessities
After lunch and putting away groceries have a rest.

Tomorrow it starts all over again.

Routines – what would I do without them?
