I’ll tell you my routine – it’s really exciting. I feed, I burp, I change diapers, I pump. And then I have a tiny window of time to myself.
I hate going to the gym and doing it the old-fashioned way. I hate anything that’s too straightforward, too routine, too familiar. I get bored really, really quickly.
I established my first writing routine when I was 13. The school year had just ended, and I’d won a stack of books for being the best student in a number of subjects. The pile included several 60-leaved notebooks that I decided to fill with short stories.
As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.
If I’m trying to rebound after a bad hole, I just go back to tempo and process and rhythm, and I cling to my routine.
I saw Alan Davies on a show from the London Palladium and he did a nice routine about having kids or whatever. I couldn’t do that.
Ironically, it is only when disaster strikes that the shuttle makes the headlines. Its routine flights attracted less media interest than unmanned probes to the planets or the images from the Hubble Telescope. The fate of Columbia (like that of Challenger in 1986) reminded us that space is still a hazardous environment.
That’s what I’ve always tried to do. I’ve always tried to prepare the same. I’ve always just tried to keep the same routine throughout the season and go out there and try to be consistent on Sundays.
I started messing around in my teen years but didn’t really begin training properly until the age of 21. I did a lot of reading prior to that – Mike Mentzer, Arthur Jones and all other notable bodybuilding authors – and just came up with a routine that worked for me.
Prayer is a privilege and the soul’s sincere desire. We can move beyond routine and ‘checklist’ prayers and engage in meaningful prayer as we appropriately ask in faith and act, as we patiently persevere through the trial of our faith, and as we humbly acknowledge and accept ‘not my will, but Thine, be done.’
Travel is a new experience that can transport you out of your everyday routine to create memories with the ones you love.
When you’re on tour, you know exactly what you’re doing and what’s required of you. There’s a routine.
Preventive medicine isn’t part of a physician’s everyday routine, which is spent dispensing drugs and performing surgery.
I don’t really have a beauty routine. I always use coconut oil, and I always wear mascara. That’s kind of it! I’m pretty simple.
Camp life is demanding, and even the simplest daily routine becomes a chore in a climate with 90 per cent humidity, not to mention the bugs.
After the 2012 Olympics, I returned to training, but unlike in previous years, my off-season weight gain didn’t melt off as soon as I got back to my routine. I was tired, and my clothes weren’t fitting. I’d been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which means my thyroid is underactive, and that slows my metabolism.
Having – and keeping to – a regular exercise routine is crucial. And forget about those extreme diets – they aren’t healthy.
The domestic lives we live – which may be accidental, or not entirely of our making – help to make possible our writing lives; our imaginations are freed, or stimulated, by the very prospect of companionship, quiet, a predictable and consoling routine.
I had one of my best years in 1991; I was 31. I made a renewed effort to work harder. I got better at my diet. I paid attention to how much sleep I got. I was always someone of routine. I became more strict.
It gets harder every day to get out of bed. I don’t feel like it loads of the time. It is only my exercise routine which wakes me up.
I do try to stay involved in training and keep that routine as much as I can. I just feel I need to do it for myself, not because the manager demands it, but because you get to a stage where you have to manage yourself – what suits you; what doesn’t.
I have a routine I go through on the days that I work, and I don’t want to divert from that.
I’m not a compulsive writer. I wish I could be compulsive about something. I have no regular writing routine.
I travel pretty frequently, but a few things that are routine are going for a run, getting my green tea in the morning, and checking email… well, all the time!
I’ve just been taking care of my skin even more since I have the extra time at home, which makes it really easy to commit to my routine. I’ve also been trying new things, including makeup for days I want to do a little more.
Physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate but routine.
Finding a convenient exercise routine is the key, because you’re much more likely to stick with it.
Yes, I’ve been down the pike and back. And through the years, I’ve heard different songs with scatting in it, and it was – always cracked me up as kind of a funny style of music, you know? When I did it, it kind of cracked me up as a comedy kind of routine.
I always almost miss my flight. My routine is to constantly, no matter how bad or good the traffic is, to almost miss my flight.
I would love to live in ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ J. R. R. Tolkien’s world is so vivid and rich and sensual. I love the country setting and the routine of the hobbits. Of course, I would like to be a hobbit who goes on small adventures – not huge, horrifying ones like Frodo’s quest.
I started growing my own organic vegetables… and started a routine of generally going to bed at 9.30 to 10 o’clock every night and sleeping until 7 A.M. I take perfect care of my machine.
Your house is all about routine, not the unexpected events of your life.
I’m definitely up in weight. I’m looking forward to getting an exercise routine again. It’s like a daily decision.
The most special Slam is Wimbledon, of course. But where I feel the best is Melbourne. And you’re happy that you’re playing. When you get to the middle of the season, everything is week after week, and it’s all routine. But when it’s Melbourne in January, you are fresh and you want to play. It’s nice.
My morning routine varies by how much time I have. In the winter, I like to take baths, but in the summer, I prefer a good shower with some soap and then maybe some moisturizer afterward. I use D.R. Harris and Geo. F. Trumper products, which we also stock at our shops in Paris and Antwerp.
I did study the art of being a barber because I wanted to figure out what my routine would be. Do you start in the front or back? Top or bottom? Swivel the chair or walk around? What I did discover is there’s no such thing as the perfect haircut!
Selfishly, it’s been really nice to have a period of time where you can have a home routine and feel pretty normal, in a way.
I’m really big on the gym and yoga. I’m at the gym at least six days. That is just getting there and creating those endorphins and sweating. And that routine also keeps me grounded in spite of whatever my life looks like.
Police on the street need the discretion to deal quickly and easily with routine misdemeanours which need to be recorded but need not take up court time – and where there is no doubt about guilt.
Before I even got ‘Saturday Night Live,’ I was already known as the furthest thing from a goat boy. I had a stand-up routine, which I was all ready to do on HBO, before ‘Saturday Night Live,’ so if my routine was dependent on being a goat, I would want to quit.
I try to treat writing as part of my daily routine: I write for at least two hours, five days per week. I tend to write at home, in a room I’ve set aside for the task. I don’t work well in cafes or busy, loud spaces, although I wish I could. It would mean greater flexibility for me.
The important thing is to build up my cardiovascular system, so I have the stamina to do stunts. To me, stepping over the line, taking a chance and succeeding is the ultimate freedom, be it in rock and roll or when executing a really challenging routine.
I am myself sometimes, and I do state my opinions, but not in a comedy routine and not in my character. There always has to be some sort of layer to it.
I do not get caught up in mundane, routine things.
Homemaking is whatever you make of it. Every day brings satisfaction along with some work which may be frustrating, routine, and unchallenging. But it is the same in the law office, the dispensary, the laboratory, or the store. There is, however, no more important job than homemaking.
The overall physical demand that Iraq has is pretty amazing. It’s 130 degrees, and the soldiers are carrying about 100 pounds of extra gear. It’s a pretty rigorous schedule and routine for them.
You need to stay in that one position to get consistency that way. Different things are going through your mind when you are playing out right to when you are playing through the middle, so you can’t get through that routine of where you want to play.
I think that is one thing I’ve picked up: follow a routine, be consistent, and everything is going to fall in place. If you are scrambling around, and you are late for stuff, that adds extra stress, and you have to go out there and hit a 97 mph fastball.
I do believe a haircut makes you play better – I’ve experienced that before. I think it’s confidence, it’s routine, and it can also be superstition. Just like if you do your hair, it’s not quite done right, and you have a bad day, you’re not going to do that again the next day.
