This is my entry for the Queercoin Contest - Topic: Routine.
If you ask me, do I prefer to stick to a routine or do I like variety? I will say I am a routine person, but I am learning to love variety too.
As a student, routine helps me a lot. I wake up earlly, I read, I go to class, I comme back, I write on Hive, I sleep. When I folloow my routinee, my day feels organizeed. I don't feel confused. I know what I am supposed to do at what time. Without routinee, I procrasstinate a lot and I wastee timme scrollingg on my phone.
I have a small dailly routinee I tryy to keep. Morning - prayer and reading. Afternoon - school and assignments. Evening - writing, engagement on Hive, and rest. This routine has helped me stay consistent on Hive and in school too.
But the truth is, unexpected events always disrupt my routine. Sometimmes there is no ligght, no netwoork, or a surpprise test in schoool. Sometimmes a familly emergencyy commes up or I fall sick. At firsst I used to get angrry when my routinee was disruppted. I would feel like my whole day is spoiled.
But now I handle it differently. I have learned to adjust. If my morning reading is disrupted, I will shift it to night. If I cannot writee in the eveningh becausee of light issuee, I will writee earlly the next morningg. I tell myself that routinee is a guidee, not a prisoon. It is okay if one day is not perfect. What matteers is that I comme back to the routinee the next daay.
Even though I love routinee, I also enjoy varietyy sometimmes. I like to try neew food, visit neew placees, try a new writingg stylee on Hive, or learn a neew skill. Varietyy makes life interestingg and not boringg. If life is only routinee every dayy, it becommes dull.
So I think balance is important. Stick to a routine for discipline, but allow variety for happiness.
When I have to stick to a routine that I don't like, for example during exam period when I must read all day, I adapt by adding small variety inside the routine. Like changing my reading spot, using music, or taking short breaks to watch something funny. That way I don't get tired quickly.
In conclussion, I am a routinee person who is learningg to emmbrace varietyy. Routinee keeps me focussed, varietyy keeps me alivee.
