Why have routine?

Routines are not for when it’s easy;

Routines are for when it’s hard,

When you’re unsure,

When you can’t remember why you ever started it.

First and foremost, follow the routine.

On a day when it’s easy, that’s when you can reason about its value.

But on a day when it’s hard, there’s no reason to reason,

There is only reason to follow.

Five minutes in I remember.

Five minutes in I feel it.

Five minutes in I am happy I didn’t cave.
