I think of routines as a way to ensure execution against the daily action that contributes to long-term, compounding progress.\n\nBut there's a dark side to routines that nobody talks about.\n\nWhen your routines become too rigid and complicated, they become a source of stress rather than strength. The routines meant to serve you can start to own you.\n\nThis is where my 90-10 Rule comes in:\n\n90% disciplined compliance.\n10% open flexibility.\n\n90% of the time, I'm locked in with my structure, but 10% of the time, I give myself the space to let life happen freely.\n\nIn this piece, I talk about the Paradox of Routine: The best routine is the one you can break.\nThe 10% is what enables the 90% to be so effective.\n\nYour routine should serve your life, not own it.\n\n•••\n\nThis episode brought to you by:\nDeleteMe - DeleteMe makes it quick, easy, and safe to remove your personal data online. \nOrigin Financial - Your personal AI Financial Advisor.
