Why don't we think
creatively more often?
What are the barriers that get in our way?
The way we have always done things seems to work ust fine, why
change!
"aving a routine helps us do many of the things we need to do without
having to really think about them.
When it comes to dealing with the day#to#day busy aspects of our lives,
we are creatures of habit. We get dressed, read the paper, take out the
trash, wash the dishes, clean the house the same way.
