#10 Building a Routine for Improved Executive Functions and Memory

Creating a daily routine is a way to take care of yourself, present your best self to others, and reach your ultimate goals. It also establishes priorities, limits procrastination, provides a structure that builds positive habits and can generate momentum that will carry you on the days when you are feeling rather apathetic and unmotivated.

When we build routines to automaticity, these actions become habits that require little effort or thought.
