Routine Randomness Redux



I admit that a certain routineness can become a part of life so I believe a regular dose of randomness seems to work for me.   It is not reckless abandon. Maybe it’s a case where the same old, same old is pursued with a bit of a twist.  Or it happens as part of a bigger plan. A mindset.

 

I understand such randomness may be akin to chaos for some.  In a somewhat different vein, planned obsolescence also comes to mind as clutter becomes a free-for-all in the brain.  A creative opportunity. Unlimited possibilities. Unfamiliar comfort, planned surprises and other such thoughts can also develop as mind-wandering wonders. 

 

Oh well, “they” say opposites attract.  Maybe we need to hear from the loyal opposition. 

 

Sure, we can find two distinct sides in ourselves.  It’s fairly obvious in nature of course.  It’s evident in all sorts of things we see in ourselves and around us.  We see it in texture(and pattern). Tactile yet Tactical too. Then there's taste. Tell-tale signs reveal more . I am not giving away any secrets as you know them already. Of course, you do.

Morning Michael.

I'm a creature of habit, I like a plan and I usually stick to it, rarely do I not have a plan

Shaking things up a bit allows a new view or clearer insight in some cases, in others, an ordinary day is most welcomed. Thanks for another enjoyable, ponderous post Michael!

I often step outside my routine to evaluate how I can get more or less done within specific time restraints. It drives my wife nuts because she is a creature of habit...

Roy Kelley - I hope your week is going well.  So far and for the rest of the week and the upcoming weekend.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP - although variety is a bit difficult to find on an actual spice rack, it does can make things a bit more tasty, even spicier.

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! - kinda like walking on the other side of a street.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS - step to it!

I find myself feeling off balance when my routine gets shifted.  That said, some good stuff happens when you are working outside of your comfort zone.

Chris Ann Cleland - Being/becoming off-balance can be unsettling and it goes beyond any meaning of stretching ones own comfort zone.  I think it involves knowing yourself.  Hmm, testing limits and such.  More pondering indeed.

Every day seems like the movie groundhog day here. We are getting deeper and deeper into routine. Good thing warmer weather is not too far away. We really need to get in the camper and head out for some adventures soon!

I have to admit a little bit of chaos can be fun once in a while... just because it feels so good to tackle it.

Sharon Tara - it can be like the television station has only repeats playing.  Over and over.

Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 - planned chaos, perhaps?

I haven't had 'real' or 'regular' in my life since I hung my real estate license shingle, Michael! This time of the year is absolute insanity for me, no matter what kind of restrictions I put on my calendar.

I know you know how that feels but, truth be told, this adrenaline addict loves it!

Debe Maxwell, CRS - let's face it, if the adrenaline addiction clinic business became an actual for profit business venture, I am sure it would be successful.  It's a sport that is in evidence in daily life.

I call it taking the scenic route....change things up, bring in some pizazz and rock and roll away.

Sometimes random this can be good and sometimes bad but it's always interesting and it's always something to learn from

Anna - tagging is still an issue and that combined with a lack of receiving notifications makes replying to comments received a bit chaotic.  Oh well, I like your "scenic route" description.

Laura - interesting, yes - to say the least. . .

Michael, days in real estate bring different situations daily, so it does keep it mixed up!
