When most people hear the word routine, they immediately think of boring, repetitive, mundane everyday tasks that need doing. But what if your daily routine could be fun? Here are five tips on how to liven up your daily schedule.
Listen to new music genres
Tons of people listen to music as they cook, clean, or even work. But it is all too easy to just get stuck in one genre for years. This can feel good, and the familiarity can be stabilizing but sometimes you need something new. Do you only listen to pop? Why not try hip hop, metal, or some electronic-only music. Try listening to classical music, it’s not always just for snobby academics. Maybe you need something more lyrically interesting in which case listening to rap or folk might be the right pick for you. The 21st century has a near unlimited amount of musical genres so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Change it up a bit
You might think that having a routine and not changing it is the goal, but this is not always ideal. Do you have a breakfast routine of always eating the same food in the same place? That’s great but to liven things up a bit, it’s good to sometimes change the space where you eat, add some new flavors to your breakfast, or even just experiment with new types of coffee or tea. Having something new to look forward to in the morning while keeping your breakfast regime can make a difficult morning that much more tolerable.

New look
It is hard to find your own style but when you succeed, it might feel like changing it again is too much of a hassle. But it is well worth it. Changing what you wear, how you do your hair, and what make-up or accessories you have can not only alter how you feel but also how others perceive you. It can open up conversations with people you’d never previously thought would be interested in you. Just never forget the golden rule – confidence is half the style. So wear what you were always afraid to try, experiment, and you’ll be rewarded.
Have less clutter
Living anywhere for even just a few months means amassing all kinds of knickknacks that just lay about with no clear purpose. But throwing some of it away and making the space around you clean and tidy can really feel like a breath of fresh air. What’s more, it can put some bad memories to rest by getting rid of items that remind you of a bad time. Reorganizing the space around you will help you focus better and will make your daily routine feel fresh again.
Break the routine
Small changes here and there can be great but sometimes you might simply feel stuck in a rut. This is the moment when you completely break your routine. Take a day off and just sit in a café and read, take a trip, or just take your work somewhere else, meet new friends or reconnect with old ones. There’s tons you can do to change your life. It teaches you something new about yourself and that might help you to kick things up to a new level.
