The word " routine " sounds boring to some people — who wants to do the same thing every day? However, the truth is that positive habits and a regular routine are good for you in many ways. Research shows that a routine improves your mind. Tasks become easier, and this gives you more time to be creative. A routine also gives you a sense of control over your life. Even something like having the same hot drink at the same time every morning can lead you to a successful day.

「例行公事」這個詞對某些人來說無聊透頂 ─ 誰想日復一日做千篇一律的事情呢?然而,事實上正向的習慣和規律的例行事務在很多面向對你有益。研究顯示例行事務可以改善我們的心智。日常作業變得更容易,這使你有更多時間發揮創意。例行事務也讓你對生活有控制感。即使是小事如每天早晨固定時間來杯同樣的熱飲,都可以引領你有個美好的一天。
