For the last few years, I’ve selected a theme word.
Last year the theme was home.
The year before that, the theme was nourish.
This year, the word is routine. A sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program.
I like to do a lot of things. I love learning, and I think that a few routines will help me support this. I don’t lose a lot of time in paralysis, wondering which of the things to do next, but I do lose more time that I’d like to in that way.
Also, I’m hoping that some routines will add automaticity to those tasks that need to be tended in an ongoing basis, making them easier.
