@anushkakarmakar That's an interesting perspective Anushka. Living in a spiritual and hippie spot must have been quite an experience.
Some things I have to do on daily basis as my routine and it doesn't matter whether I want it or not, but the rest tasks can appear all of a sudden. So in this mix is a work balance to me :)
@natalie_ermishina Finding that balance between routine tasks and unexpected ones can be challenging but rewarding. How do you prioritize when new tasks come up unexpectedly?
Launching soon!
The two approaches, having a strict routine and "going with the flow" serve two purposes.
When the work is mechanical or set in structure, you can follow a routine. It creates a practice, improves your overall functionality, punctuality and reliability.
But when you're working with variables. like anything creative, mostly involving people. Take marketing for example. You simply cannot set a strict routine and follow it.
You can have a guideline or a process, everyone does. But there are simply too many variables for you to stick to one approach.
Trends change, people change, and sometimes the product changes with time as well.
Go with the flow, but the "flow" is your environment, what comes at you, how things change, going with it means you adapt.
One could argue you can't really get there without practice, how would you adapt to different approaches if you haven't mastered even one?
In my opinion everyone starts with a routine, further they build the ability to go with the flow.
@hitha_boorla That's a thoughtful perspective Hitha. Combining routine and adaptability seems like a balanced approach. Starting with a routine helps build a strong foundation and develops essential skills. Once those are in place, being able to go with the flow allows for flexibility and responsiveness to changing circumstances. It's true that different types of work benefit from different approaches, and finding the right balance between structure and adaptability can make a big difference.
I preferred that everything go according to schedule, but there are times when you need to disrupt something and do something else, and I’m ready for that.
For me, I've found it's a mix between planning and learning to roll with the punches. As a founder, so many things vie for my attention, but there are also things that if I don't plan for them, I'd never ever get to them. So, a little bit of planning but mostly prioritization.
@aruna_neervannan1 That makes a lot of sense Aruna. Balancing planning with flexibility is crucial, especially with so many demands on your time.
@extreme_products Having a strict routine for mornings and a set bedtime sounds great for creating structure. How do you manage your day in between?
I like having a set daily routine. It helps me stay organized and focused. But sometimes, it's nice to mix things up and go with the flow.
@larue_side That sounds like a good balance Larue. A routine provides structure, but mixing things up can keep life interesting.
I appreciate both structured routines and the flexibility to go with the flow, as each offers unique benefits depending on the circumstances.
Having a set daily routine helps me stay organized and productive.
On the other hand, embracing spontaneity and going with the flow can be refreshing. It allows for adaptability in responding to unexpected opportunities or changes in plans.
Ultimately, I find a balanced approach works best for me.
@b2bsulaiman That makes sense Sulaiman. Finding a balance between a set routine and spontaneity can really help in staying organized and adaptable.
Go with the flow and also try to improve myself by day to day by at least 0.1%. I believe "consistency is key"
