This is the time for our daily routines and activities around the house. I’m sure you’ve noticed my personal habits during your every day walks with my wife, sister, and brother.
Most people find a year to be about a quarter of a day, but it’s actually more like a year because a year is the unit of time that we use in math. A year is actually the number of “hours” in a day.
I think the same applies to our house, my home. We do our housework on a daily basis and most of our daily activities are done in a year. If you were to look at our daily schedule on a calendar, it would look something like this.
One of the things I love most about the house is the fact that the same thing happens each day. We have a standard schedule every morning which includes breakfast, a nap, and then our day’s work. We do this because we get up to do a lot of work around the house, so we have to have a standard way of doing things. For example, we have a “tidy up” routine for each room that we leave for the day.
When the schedule is set every day, it becomes a habit, something that we expect to do. It becomes a routine, something that we can count on. We become familiar with the pattern. This is particularly important in the world of work, where a lot of these people are always on the go. They may have to do extra work, not because they want to but because they are exhausted.
If we don’t have a standard way of doing things, we all find ourselves doing things that are inefficient because we don’t have a standard way of doing things. For example, I sometimes set my alarm for 7:30, wake up at around 7:30, get in the shower, get dressed, and leave for work 8:30. Because the pattern of my day is so familiar, I rarely have to think about what I have to do tomorrow.
For many people, the standard way of doing things is to set an alarm and get up at 7:30 AM and leave the house at 7:30 PM. It’s a much more efficient way of doing things. But if you don’t have a standard way of doing things, you find yourself doing things that are inefficient because you dont know what you have to do.
In fact, we are in an age where everyone has a very complex job and every day is a new challenge for them. If you are not used to it, you may feel like you are doing way more than you should be doing. But the fact is that if you set an alarm for 730, you will not be able to wake up at 830 in the morning because you will be too tired.
Even if you set the alarm for 730, you will be too tired to get out of bed at 830. The good news is that it’s not too late to start getting back on the right track. In fact, it is never too late to start getting back on the right track.
