Routine or Spontaneity? Finding Balance Between the Established and the Unexpected

Routine or Spontaneity? Finding Balance Between the Established and the Unexpected
Fei Meng
|Updated:

I’m a creature of habit and routine.

That routine has long depended on my work and my personal circumstances. For the past three years, I’ve generally woken up before dawn, poured a cup of coffee, scouted out some different sites online, and then settled into a couple of hours of writing.

The rest of the day I divide into segments: cleaning and tidying the house, more writing, some seasonal yard work, trips to town four and five times per week to shop or to write in a coffee shop or at the public library, answering emails and addressing business affairs, and enjoying wine and a movie or book in the evening.
