Discipline is one of the most important thing in every step of our life. When we are at very early stage of our life then we should have to follow the routine created by our parents or governess. At that stage we do not have the ability of creating our own routine. So our elders helps us on doing the hard job. But as time changes then we become mature to handle our own works and duties. So then we can made our own routine. The creator of routine changes but the efficiency of maintaining a daily routine does not change.
In my life I also experienced that if I made a simple plan at yesterday or at the very start of the day then I can handle much more tasks on that day than a unplanned one. At early age may be you people can not find any interest in these type of time management planning. But if you lead your life unplanned then after some time you will definitely realize that you had done a great mistake.
Discipline is very much important in our life. And this discipline can

be implemented very easily through maintaining a daily routine. Life is a platform like theater, if you done any mistake in it then you may not get any second chance to correct it. Never forget friends, "The same opportunity comes only once in life, the next may be either better or worse, but not the same." So be prepared when it comes for grabbing it instantly...
As in the above image I said, "Discipline is just a planned journey of our life." You all knows that life is also a journey, so the life can be shaped or planned with the thing 'Discipline'. As a wise person once said, "Money what you spend, you can earn that again in your life; but time what you spend can not be earned again, so spend your time efficiently." And this can only be possible if we follow a routine in our daily life. Without that we can not spend our time efficiently or in a planned way.
I clearly remember that in my higher-secondary school and college days there are plenty of things to do. So many tasks of institutes, besides that if you have some extra-curricular activities then you should give time to that. And beside that giving time to friends is the most important thing, which can not be missed at any cost. So the necessity of an efficient time-management system again comes,,,
After the school and college life when you enter into your professional life then again the same thing happens. You may be in any service or a self-employed, but you should give time to both your work and family. And I think we all should give some time to our self, everyday or at least once in a week. As Asa Don Brown said, "Self-talk reflects your innermost feelings." At this stage of your life besides your work, spending quality time with your family is also important. For family-loving people this balance between the time spend with family and spend in work is very important. Without both these people can not get 'Happiness' in life.
The people who works in a office should normally follow a fixed duty hours. But for self-employed people routine is more important than their counterparts. Because if you work from your home, then there is a huge possibility of several other distractions will come between your work. To stop them you can follow the following tips:-
For these people who are in service they do not need to take any such step as their work place is entirely different. They not need to make any such pack for avoiding such distractions.
The situation is slightly more difficult for Indian married women who are working, They also need to process their time much more efficiently than others. Its very odd but till date I have seen that in many families the responsibility of women for the internal matters of the family is more than the man. You can not totally refuse their thought because they says that in the case of external matters the responsibility of man is much more.Routine is very much important for these women also. The situation is slightly different for those women who works as freelancers. But again the distractions in between the working hours came to the field, and they should have to manage the entire situation with care efficiency.

- Made a routine, which should contain regular intervals beside regular quality working hours.
- In your routine always give some time to your family everyday. (You should spend these times with your family members like - morning tea-time; breakfast and dinner. Normally lunch time is different for different members of your family.)
- You can use tags to show that you are busy, and inform your family members that you do not like to be disturbed in your working time.

Today I have also seen that many people are squeezing so much into their days that old-fashioned time management doesn't work, productivity researchers say. Sue Shellenbarger on Lunch Break explains how productivity research is yielding new clues on more ways to be energy-efficient. According to a research paper report published in The Wall Street Journal(WSJ) you can follow the following time-table for understanding that how your body mind efficiency varies with the elevation angle of the Sun.

You can follow the above mentioned time-table or make a time-table by yourself, but I think it will be helpful if keep the above mentioned facts at the time of making your own daily routine. I am also explaining some other facts which I think you should keep in your mind at the time of making your daily routine.
Duration of work & regular breaks:-
There are several theories in market about taking rest between doing the works. There are several psychologists who has given umpteen number of theories on this. Every theory has some advantage and also some disadvantages. These formulas are known as 'Productivity formulas'. I will explain that in details later in any other post. Now I will give a brief explanation of that time management, hope this will help you.
- Work for 52 Minutes, Break for 17 minutes
- Work for 25 Minutes, Break for 5 minutes (Pomodoro productivity method)
- Work for 90 Minutes, Break for 20 minutes
- Work for 90 Minutes, Break for 10 minutes (Robin Sharma's formula)
Among the above mentioned formulas you can choose any one method of productivity and stick to that one. Because if you changes your mind simultaneously and shifts from one model to another in very little amount of time then it will be very much problematic for your brain.
Hope this post will help you in understanding the value of maintaining a daily routine and advantages you get by maintaining it. Your feedback is very much valuable to us. So if you have query, or if you are interested know something more on any particular topic, feel free to ask us.
