A daily routine is just one of those things that everyone needs if they plan on being successful. After all, structure is a very powerful tool to have in life, and building a routine — that you will stick to every day — is the ultimate goal when it comes to being your most productive self.
When coming up with an all-star routine, doing something creative might not be on everyone’s mind, but it is a very important part of the process.
Doing something creative doesn’t necessarily have to be writing a book, joining a band or painting a masterpiece. Instead, think of doing something like writing a short story (or poem), playing an instrument or drawing something — well, unless, of course, you do happen to be in a band or are working on your first screenplay, that is. Nonetheless there are many ways for people to be creative, and there are plenty of reasons why doing something creative should be part of your daily routine.
