Routine as a Resource for the Imagination

Could routine be a resource for the imagination?

It’s a lot of work to pay attention to all things all of the time. In fact, there may be no room left over for anything else. Anything new. No room for the imagination. No free space for the unexpected solution or unanticipated brainstorm to emerge.

Routine allows certain core components of your life to fall into the background without falling off the map by deciding at one point in time where and when you will take care of those components all of the time.

By routinizing certain things you don’t have to pay so much attention to them anymore. Your mind is freed up. Freed up for other things. Freed up for new things.

If you tend to resent your routines, this is your chance to turn it around and make them your friends. View them as on your side instead of against you.

What other regular responsibility could you remove from your radar screen by putting it on your map? You’d have a shorter to-do list if you had a longer regularly-done list.

Imagine where you could go with all the additional space you just created for your imagination!

On your side,

- Karl
