ROUTINES
Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same road to work everyday? Do you sit in the same place
in class? When you get dressed, do you always put the same leg or arm in first? You probably do, because
we all have routines in our lives.
Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking, that’s why they are so
important in the morning when your brain isn’t active. Here’s Jo talking about her morning routine.
‘Oh yes, I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o’clock every morning, but I don’t get up
till quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to the news. Then I go to the loo and I brush my
teeth. I have a shower and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don’t eat anything for
breakfast. I just have a cup of coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, It’s always the same.’
Routines are very useful, but they also make you uncreative. So sometimes it’s a good idea to break
your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite side. Listen to a different radio station. Take a different
route to work. Eat something different for breakfast. Change your routine. You never know, it could
change your life.
