Episode 6: Daily routine and why it’s so important   Do you have a routine? Do you want a routine? In this episode, I share what has worked for me as I am in transition from a regular full-time job to a self-employed woman. My days are more flexible, and I can waste time watching TV when I really want to explore topics and opportunities and meet up with people.   I’ve written up some key takeaways from this episode below.  I hope you start to ponder if you need a routine.  If you already have one, is it working for you? Routines give us: Balance Strength Adds ease to our life Helps us stay true to our commitments and goals   Does a routine have to scheduled out by the hour? No, you can create chunks of time or maybe only have a morning or evening routine. Does it need to be written down? Yes – use colors, print or create posters Should you post it in various locations? Yes – more the better.  Set up reminders – calendar, watch, alarms, sticky notes   Time Stamps 0:00 – Intro and the Importance of Routines 4:14 – Creating a Flexible and Realistic Routine 8:08 – Documenting your Routine 17:18 – Building Trust with Self-Commitments 21:08 – Being Kind and Gentle with Yourself   A new habit takes 28 days – that’s the old saying.
