For nearly a year, I was in the routine of writing for an hour and a half each morning before I went to work. That routine was busted because I didn’t feel the urgency of that time. Meaning, I told myself I could do something else during that time because, “I have all day to write.”
But I didn’t. I didn’t write, because I didn’t intentionally set aside time to do so. This tells me a lot about the importance of a routine in my life.
