Routine is just a fancy word for rut.

30DBC: What are some of the routines you follow in your daily life? Do you typically stick to your routine, or do you prefer more spontaneity?

I love to be spontaneous, but I'm not. "Routines" is just a fancy word for "ruts".

When I travel I'm in too many situations to develop routines. At home it takes a while to settle into a rhythm and every time I travel the rhythm changes when I return.

I drink coffee. I shower. I write. I take photos or edit or I read. But none of this is guaranteed on a daily basis.

For years I tried to write something every day. Well... that didn't happen this past year.

I haven't had a schedule imposed on me since 2007. I'm used to that now. But even when I worked my day wasn't defined by routines.
