Some quick thoughts I want to share with you this afternoon on the power of a “boring” routine…
I’m currently in Guadalajara, Mexico for my buddy Nate’s wedding…
I flew in Thursday…
We had the wedding yesterday…
And I’ve spent most of today lying around, watching football and catching up on sleep.
I haven’t felt super motivated to write…
And I’ve avoided doing some of the stuff I needed to get done today.
I know from past experiences that anytime I get out of my routine, this is pretty normal for me.
So if I’m in a different city…
Or if I’m staying up late…
I’m nowhere near as productive as I am when I’m at home and in my routine.
Which is the furthest thing from the laptop lifestyle you see on Instagram…
But for me…
A boring routine works.
It’s what I’m comfortable with.
And it’s when I’m most productive…
So I stick with it as much as possible.
Maybe you’re similar…
Maybe not…
But I can say that if your life is full of chaos…
And things are always changing…
You won’t be at your best.
You need routine…
And you need familiarity…
A lot of people think that’s “boring”…
But the truth is, boring routines and habits tends to produce results.
So I say embrace the boring routine.
You’ll be better off for it.
