Is it good to stick to a routine all the time?

Discipline is must in life. It is right that our routine life is necessity of our life. But some time we feels boring with it. Weekend is for refresh and so we must be enjoyed it. 

As Usha had rightly mentioned, routine is necessary to instill discipline in a person. However, sticking to routine without any compromise can sometimes be problematic. One of my colleagues works in a routine manner. Though he is very hardworking, sometimes  I feel that he is unable to progress much in life because he doesn't accept anything easily that would go against his routine.

Yes absolutely Jabeen, I too feel that a person who leads his or her life , like a military campaign is likely to become very rigid and miss out on new ideas and thoughts. The tunnel vision is bound to make them narrow minded .

Routine is required, but flexibility in routine also should be there to accommodate new and good things.

Not many are able to balance..

True, it is all about priority in the end. And it is easier said than done. I remember I went for training in a nature-filled place. There I was having a routine but also flexible to accommodate new things.

But once I came back home, I couldn't do the same. The routine is a little bit fixed now.

But that training period taught me the importance of flexibility. It refreshes us, gives memories, new enthusiasm in our life.

After coming back I have accommodated new things for some time. But the flexibility in the routine should be there more often when we are at home especially, to break out of routine brings new joy in our lives and I have not reached that level of flexibility to get more satisfaction in daily life, as yet.

Priorties are more important in our life than routine. I thinks priorities decide routine of our life. 

It is only when an individual is able to move out of his/ her comfort zone and do something different , that one can broaden one's vision and get abetter idea of what life can offer you, if you have an adventurous and innovative Outlook.
