What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?
“Noooo! Don’t you dare suggest I skip a step in my perfectly curated daily ritual! Every little detail, from the precise angle of my toothpaste tube to the sacred order of my morning coffee brewing, is a masterpiece of efficiency. I’m not doing this for mom or dad anymore. I’m doing it for me.

Can you imagine crafting a beautiful, intricate ritual only to sabotage it with a half-hearted effort? It’s like baking a gourmet cake and then frosting it with a glop of store-bought icing. A travesty, I say!
So, my advice? If something in your ritual isn’t bringing you joy, toss it out faster than a bad roommate. Be the captain of your own ship, and steer it towards a future of perfectly timed toasts and perfectly brewed coffee.
And remember, if you ever find yourself questioning the sanity of your daily routine, just remember: we’re all a little bit crazy, and that’s what makes life interesting. Or at least that’s what I tell myself when I spend 10 minutes trying to get the perfect amount of soap on my loofah.”

Our daily routines give us comfort. 😀
As I grow older, I’ve had to add things to my routine that I’d prefer not to but I need to for my health. 😕
