Stop The Routine

Stop The Routine

A few weeks ago, when we went into lockdown, most of the advice was to ‘create a routine’.

Six weeks on and isn’t it just starting to be boring? I’ve got some new advice.

Stop The Routine!

Mix it up. Break it up.

  • If you’ve been going fast, go slow.
  • If you’ve been chilling out, do something serious.
  • If you’ve been going slow, go fast.
  • If you’ve been serious, chill out.

Have a day off.


On Tuesday, I was coaching someone who said that since lockdown, on a Saturday night, they get together with their friends and do a pub quiz. For the first few weeks, this was great but then it started to become routine. So, this Saturday night they’re having a Tik Tok dance competition.

The parents have to put together a dance routine, post it on Tik Tok, and their kids are going to vote on which one they think is best! He’s terrified but it’s really taking his mind off the monotony of working from home and being locked down.


So here’s your challenge - what idea can you share to break the routine?

Leave your comments below or here on my Facebook Group:

I won’t send a book to our favourite… Instead, I’ll break my routine and share something crazy and unique with the person who posts the best idea to break the routine.
