Routines are like habit stacking. Every Tuesday, I do this, and every Thursday, I do that. I know in advance what I will be doing and usually when. It is a sound system, yet sometimes, it can become a rut.
If you feel your system is becoming rutted, try changing things up occasionally. Ruts are not good because the deeper you get into them, the harder it is to see the outside world. You start feeling trapped and often lonely.
Doing different things can get you out of the rut, and being with friends and family can help. If your change affects others who count on you for something, be sure to let them know what the changes are and see if you can change what you do for them to a new time or day.
Nothing works forever, and trying new things helps with monotony. When you try new things, start in small steps until you know they are right for you.
