2019 - 10 - 01 - Boosting Creativity Through The Use Of Routine And Ritual

Most of us understand what a routine is. But building a solid routine and intentionally setting our habits to work for us can free up the mental energy for our creative work. In the book “The Power of Habit” Charles Duhigg reminds us just how much of our lives are made of habit, routine, and ritual. The ability to add a routine to your day can help preserve that mental energy that comes from making small decisions. There are several ways to build routine into your day. Personally, I use two old standby tools. A calendar and a todo list. And if you don’t think the word routine works for you choose a synonym. Ritual is a favorite of mine.
