People think routine means being boxed in.

 But the truth is, a solid routine gives you space — space to think, train, recover, and live with intention.

Every decision you make costs mental energy.
 When your day has structure, you save that energy for what actually matters.

Task:
Write down everything you do in a normal week.
Include work, food prep, travel, gym, kids, social time, phone time — everything.
Now estimate how long each one takes.

That’s your capacity map.

Once you see where your time is really going, you can start to build better habits instead of winging it.
