Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a regular routine?

A: On the one hand, it can make us much more productive, doing regular things at the same time each day. I think there is some scientific research that supports this too. On top of that, most people are creatures of habit, so I suspect we find comfort in knowing what is going to happen at each moment of the day. That said, the downside(负面、消极面) would have to be that we become a bit robotic. Life can very quickly become boring and predictable. Broadly speaking, whilst it’s good to have a routine, sometimes we need to be impulsive and just go with the flow.
