The Importance of Flexibility in Routines

Flexibility is crucial in maintaining effective routines. While many believe that routines must be rigid to work, the secret lies in being adaptable. Being flexible means finding the right balance of structure for different seasons of life and being open to change. Instead of sticking to a perfect itinerary, focus on the goal of the routine, such as facilitating a great start to the day. Building in buffer time, anticipating changes, and having a plan B routine are key strategies to incorporate flexibility into routines.
