Like many I believe, I live a very routine lifestyle. A life that if you look at your watch, you can probably tell where I am or what I am doing. Hardly ever do I change from my typical schedule.
8:00am Wakeup
9:00am Work in a job I dislike
12:00pm Lunch
7:00pm Get off work
7:30pm Meet friends / Go to church (certain days)
10:30pm Reach home
12:30am Sleep
This is my typical schedule. I call it my 'Plan A' schedule. At first things were fresh. Money was coming in. I was debt free and having money for the first time. Slowly, the routine began to eat into me. Life in general just became bland. Things were the same. I hated doing the job because it was doing the same things everyday. Things I use to enjoy became monotonous also. My early morning walks and prayer became a chore. Even if I manage to wake in the morning, I'd rather lie in bed. My life was in a rut that I felt I couldn't get out off. I was living a life of 'quiet desperation' as Thoreau said it (if I don't remember wrong). I don't even remember when things when out of 'Plan A'. Am I destined to be stuck in a schedule that feels so meaningless? Is there a way to break out from this rut?

It's nice to see I'm not the only one feeling like life has become this boring routine of wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat. Mine is a slightly different routine (I have to add in fighting children into my daily schedule) however, it's still the same old thing day in and day out. I, too, am trying to put some life back into my life and rediscover myself. Good luck with your journey & God bless you on your way.
