Routine has two qualities for me: avoiding development and providing the ground for it. I often find myself deliberately stuck in routines. Feels safe and comfortable. Moving (or not moving?) on safe ground has its qualities. On the other hand I totally freak out when I perceive this status to be longer than one hour. I’m constantly bouncing between what I conceive as consistency and innovation. In both words I find the need for the other, the necessary evolvement away from its opponent to the other end. At last having reached the bewished state becoming its opponent by definition.It’s easier to see that for me in every day life. Out of routine, i. e. having learned and trained certain skills for numerous times, I’m able to produce something new, exciting & (hopefully) innovative. On the other hand I have to put the innovations on a broader basis to be able to use them with a reasonable amount of time-investment. So I have to make a routine out of it.So I’m sort of stuck to watch the pendulum on its course hoping to stay the active part who’s providing the kinetics.
