Your best routine may be the one nobody notices.

Some of the most useful routines are too ordinary to become an announcement. You put something back where tomorrow can find it. You prepare enough food. You ask the person beside you how the difficult thing went, and listen to the answer.

Their value may appear as a problem that does not happen or a small kindness someone stops having to request. These actions do not need an audience. They do deserve your notice, especially when you are deciding whether your ordinary days amount to anything.
