Tips To Help You Start A Daily Routine 
  • To start a daily routine the first thing to be done is to prepare oneself mentally, of the serious need for a daily routine. Most of the time people ‘jump the bus’ midway due to lack of commitment on their part.
  • Set a goal. Without a goal, you won’t have any idea or motivation, to adopt a daily routine. Setting a goal will also make you stick to your routine. A goal, in short, will be the lighthouse that will show you the direction.
  • Adopt a vision. It will show you the road ahead. Daily routine is all about leading a disciplined life, and having a clear vision is one of its tenets.
  • Have a plan. Without a plan, you will have little idea of what and when to do. You can have both a long term and a short-term plan. In this way, you will know what and how to achieve every day.
  • Develop a habit that is constructive and stimulating. If you can cultivate a habit, say, for reading, writing, or gardening, then over the years, it would develop into a strong habit, which would anchor you to the routine.
  • Have a daily target. In this way, you develop a routine, where you can measure your success by the target reached. It encourages you to accomplish, what you need to do every day, and reach your target, so that in the end, you don’t have to rush things up.
  • Once you are on your way to a daily routine, every now and then, check your development. See if your spiritual, emotional, and habitual aspirations, have benefitted from the daily routine. If not, then review your routine to include those aspects that satisfies your spirit, emotion, and habit.
  • Unforeseen events may disrupt your daily routine, so, it is good to be prepared. That is the reason daily routine should be flexible. Flexibility in your daily timetable allows you to indulge in breaks, without turning your routine upside down. Leave an hour or two every day, as a buffer for accommodating sudden calls.
