Routine is detrimental to the human experience. We lock ourselves into rhythms and patterns of life, repetitive choices and actions, which dictate all of our behavior for the sake of convenience and knowing no other alternative. Be spontaneous – only say “no” in circumstances that absolutely demand it. Our experiences outside of work, our house, our milieux, force us to adapt to new environments and people. We can no longer rely on routine for survival. Because of this, we can say we are living, and not solely surviving.
