Rule 1:
Stick to a routine it is a necessary part of life. Without it we lose our sense of a predictable existence. When this sense is lost or diminished we feel a proportionate amount of loss of control. When our sense of control falters our core of stability is eroded. It is the fear of this erosion that enables us to accept ”routine”.
Rule 2: Remember to break rule 1
