Small Miracles Created by Routine

"I'll start waking up early tomorrow." "I'll exercise every day starting next week." Sound familiar? We've all made these promises to ourselves.

But here's what Haruki Murakami does: he wakes at 4 AM every day, writes for 5-6 hours, then runs in the afternoon. The same routine for over 30 years. That "boring" consistency created a world-renowned author.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." — Will Durant American philosopher and historian. Won the Pulitzer Prize for The Story of Civilization series.

Routine Is Freedom

Routine might feel like a constraint. But paradoxically, routine gives you freedom.

No need to wonder "What should I do today?" You can save your willpower. That energy can be used for creative work.

"Creativity is born from habit." — Twyla Tharp American dancer and choreographer. Author of The Creative Habit who studied the relationship between creativity and routine.

Logging Is Also a Routine

Log at the same time every day. Right when you wake up in the morning, or before bed.

At first, you have to do it consciously. But after 2 weeks, a month, it feels strange when you don't do it. That's when it becomes a routine.
