Monday was back to school for me - literally. My 3 days per week working as a music teacher have resumed as of this week after what has felt like an insanely long and wonderful summer break. Much has been accomplished in this time and I have to say that I feel ready to return to some sense of routine.
Wednesday is once again my favourite day of the week, because after two days of teaching, I will find myself working from home and having the space and freedom to work how I want to. As of today and starting this evening, Wednesday is also the day I go to my pottery class. It runs for 8 weeks and I can’t wait to get stuck in.
Today’s full piece is for paid subscribers, but before I duck under the paywall and start talking about routines, I want to let you all know that the September edition of Create Ensemble will be open to all subscribers.
The session will take place online on Tuesday 17th September from 7-8pm UK time (BST). There will be further reminders in the lead up, but you can register your interest and find out more by clicking here: https://lu.ma/ol11dktv
Alternatively, you can DM me by clicking below if you’d like to ask any specific questions about Create Ensemble.
Why do we need routine?
Routine /ruːˈtiːn/ noun - a usual or fixed way of doing things
I’ve wondered for a while if there is a secret to balancing routine with spontaneity? Just over a year ago, I ditched the 5-days-a-week-job routine and shook things up.
I left behind a very sensible and stable teaching career in a lovely school to start my own interior design business. There were many reasons for me doing this, but one of them was because I was fed up of the same routine. Every day the same commute, the same colleagues, the same way of doing things.
