Are you superstitious?
There’s a fine line between superstitious and thriving on routines. I realize that sounds like a bold statement, but follow me for a second. As a teenager, for a brief bit, I thought that the outcome of my day could be predicted by whether or not I won a game of solitaire on the computer while waiting for the bus to arrive. Did I really believe that a Windows 95 game could determine my day? No. However, it gave me an excuse to play on the computer every morning before school, and I liked that routine!
I no longer play solitaire every morning. In fact, I’m not sure what version of Windows was the last one to have it be automatically included. That said, I do still like routines, and breaking a routine can be hard for me. In fact, some have even heard me say “I can’t do that. It’s bad luck” about things that may seem silly. Yet the reality is, I’m not really being superstitious about the thing, I just don’t want to change it. I really like to always take the same entrance into places, check things on the computer in a certain order, and have schedules for certain activities like what chores go on which day. I’m a creature of routine, and I am a lot more focused and less anxious with them.
Like I said, it’s a fine line…
