Following a proper system is always appreciated. It gives our life direction and tells us a simple path to follow. This is what happens when a person starts following a routine. It gives the person stability and simple rules that make things easier to follow.

Though routines can be monotonous, they are very important and can positively contribute to our lives.

Routines Provide Comfort

Once you set a routine for yourself, your body will automatically align itself with the tasks you perform. You will feel sleepy around the time you usually sleep and have proper timing for dinner. This factor of predictability helps the brain remain calm and helps it know what comes next. Your mind will not be on constant alert to detect unpredictability. You will be aware of the tasks you have to perform.

Following a routine also helps a person know how to prioritize their day. Tasks will revolve around what is essential and what can be skipped according to the needs of the human. Things like sleeping early and eating at the proper time will help regulate bodily functions and promote a healthier lifestyle.

Promotes Efficiency

Things you do on a daily basis will become easier with time. You will be more aware of the steps you must perform in order to get to the end result. Having a routine essentially will promote efficiency. The body will perform tasks in a quicker manner since it is more aware of what comes next.

Time management also becomes a lot easier since you will know how much time you will take to perform a certain task. If things need to be rushed, certain steps could be skipped to get a similar end result. Such habits also help promote handling unexpected situations a lot more calmly. Knowing that a few extra hours could be spared for that specific situation greatly helps a human.

The main character in Shanghai Sun: The Curse of the General also has a proper routine he follows to give his life stability. John wakes up early in the morning and starts his day with coffee, followed by his daily routine of getting ready and going to the office. The book later mentions how a disruption in his life makes him think more, be a little more worried, and have general unrest in his mind. The excellent portrayal of human psychology in this book is worth appreciating. An interesting book that always makes sure to stay relevant to the storyline.
