Routines suck

This is something I have believed for a long time.  When people fall into a "routine" for doing anything, they tend to lose focus.  They look at things in step1,2,3... only.  This causes them to lose sight of the goal/objective.

As you can probably guess......this is bad.

One must learn to adapt to changes in situation.  That's a good lesson to learn.  If you go through the steps, what happens if step 2 breaks down.  Or perhaps if something changes in an earlier step.  And what if an entire step becomes impossible to perform in your manner.

It may take longer to do things this way at first.  But it becomes easier as your mindset works this way.  And you get held up less when things go bad.

This even works in any kind of field.  Even in working on manga :) (cleaning workload becomes easier and quicker).
