Routine tasks are just routines which means we need to do them. However a routine need not be boring or predictable. Training for a race may be tough, but it need not test our attention and attentiveness. Routines help build discipline and patience, so we do them to prove we can manage the daily disruptions and interruptions. Here are some ideas for not spending too much energy wasted on the minutiae.
1) Spend a small of the day to compliment somebody or give praise.
2) Encourage somebody. This is one of the best ways for empowering others.
3) When the going gets tough, laugh it off. Laughter produces stress-coping chemicals in our brain.
4) Exercise is like laughter, although its more strenuous it can be just as effective.
5) Create moments to leave your desk. It would be better for your back.
6) Send a ‘how are you?’ text message, or an e-mail. Enjoy how soon you get a reply.
7) Pick up an unfamiliar word and search it up on dictionary.com. See how soon you can use it in your correspondence.
8) Break a pattern of behavior. Change your morning routine. Switch your exercises around. Each more vegetables of another colour.
9) Delegate to another a useful task – however offer the person a degree of authority, and you retain the responsibility. That’s sharing the workload.
10) Give thanks and praise to the universe. Be thankful that we are alive to be able to experience life in its many forms.
