"A routine can either feel like it maintains you or like you maintain it. One requires upkeep, one keeps you up. Seek routines that feel like they serve you, not the other way around. Everyone is likely to enjoy a routine that helps them have a sense of ease, peace, and harmony in their life. Examples: The coffee maker on a timer that helps you get started in the mornings."
"Routines that help keep you organized with minimal effort. Routines that help you meet your most fundamental needs (e.g., eating, sleeping, closeness) with minimal fuss. Quarterly routines can fill an important niche. Some routines are too onerous to do monthly, but yearly is too infrequent. Another advantage of quarterly routines is that they naturally align with the seasons. Consider these three people who read one book per quarter, with recurring seasonal themes that make sense for them."
Routines should serve the person rather than demand constant upkeep. A routine can either feel like it maintains you or like you maintain it; choose ones that deliver ease, peace, and harmony. Practical examples include a coffee maker on a timer, scheduled weekly takeout, systems that keep organization minimal, and habits that secure basic needs like eating, sleeping, and closeness with little fuss. Quarterly routines bridge the gap between monthly and yearly habits and naturally align with seasons. Seasonal themes can make quarterly practices pleasurable, such as reading different genres each quarter. The objective is sustainable routines that are enjoyed rather than endured.
