Modify daily routines to feel accomplished.
Our routines and engaging in some kind of activity to manage the daily state of affairs complete the cycle of a day. Some people do their routines in an organised and concise manner and get time to participate in domestic, social, or personal matters or learn new skills. The majority of us keep ourselves confined to getting fresh, talking to friends, highlighting problems, and going to bed. These groups are passing their time without any addition in knowledge, awareness, analytical thinking, or standard reasoning.
 Our daily routines are based on our habits. First we cultivate our habits, and then habits shape our daily routines. Habits are formed over months and years, and it takes a long time to get rid of bad habits or add good habits to our routines.
In recent times, we find it easy to go through what is inside our smartphones, and we mostly consume our time with contents that have nothing to add to our competence, courage, and initiative. By and large, it is a sheer waste of time. Broadly, we get some pleasure from items displayed on our phones at the cost of making our careers, sharpening our skills, and doing some important work. Here, many of us can save one or two hours per day for productive activities.
Our routines can be modified in such a way that we take maximum 1/3 rd in rest including sleeping and 2/3rd in routines and productive activities per day. Depending on the nature of engagement, we should consume minimum time in routines and maximum time in making ourselves better, apart from generating income to meet family obligations and other essentials.
Once we accept the challenges before us, our routines are easily modified. Adhering to a particular set of room conditions, food habits, and friend circles makes it hard to adapt to new conditions, and we never dare to disturb the status quo. Challenge-evaders remain the same in their 50s as they were in their 30s.
It is true that our bodies like to remain adjusted to particular conditions. In other words, the body seeks comfort. But it is contrary to our growth and looking forward. We are born to grow and do something different from others. We have to keep our bodies ready to be uncomfortable, stage by stage. Our body loves bed. It does not mean we give our bodies extra hours to rest.
 We moves our legs, hands, eyes as mind decides. When our mind is active, our body can’t be in passive mode. So we have to monitor what is going on in our minds. It is a tough job, but it is a game-changer in our lives.
There are times when we can take action on something that has been pending for a long time. We must use these moments efficiently. We cut our talk short and may dedicate this time to taking some initiative. We have to learn a language. We can do this. Top ranking people get their important work done while waiting for a flight or travelling in trains or cars. These are good practises.
At the end of the day, we must see what our output is today. All days cannot be equally productive. But stagnation, or the status quo, demands that we modify our daily schedules to get the maximum output on more than 300 days in a year.
Simply keeping busy does not serve its purpose until it is growth-oriented and pushes us beyond our boundaries.
