In this episode of 'Purpose in Pixie Dust' podcast, host Lindsay Dollinger speaks with Kristin Woodford, who is known as the 'Routine Queen'. They discuss the benefits of establishing routines and habits, self-care and personal development, with Kristin sharing her story and how routines ultimately set her free. Kristin explains how she developed a passion for routines after discovering the positive impact they had on her energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. She emphasizes that adjusting to a routine takes time and consistency. Kristin suggests experiments with different routines to see what sticks and works for them, becoming personalized 'rituals'. She also advocates preparing for the next day the evening before, maintaining focus on the important tasks, and being present throughout the day, using conscious transition moments when needed. Kristin's recommended book for personal development is 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear.
