• One thing I do regularly to help me work and study better is taking short breaks to go for a walk.
• I usually do this in the afternoons.
• If the weather is good, I go out for the walk, else I walk within the building where I am at that time.
• Going for a walk helps me in many ways.
• First, it gives my brain a little rest.
• When I’ve been working on something for a while, my mind can get a bit tired.
• Walking helps to clear my thoughts and gives me a break from staring at a screen or books.
• Also, walking is good for my body.
• Sitting for a long time can make me feel a bit stiff, so a short walk helps me stretch my legs and move around.
• It makes me feel more awake and ready to focus on my work again.
• I usually feel a bit stressed or tired when I’ve been studying or working for a long time.
• But when I take a break to walk, I feel a lot better.
• The fresh air and movement help to refresh my mind, and I come back feeling more energized.
• During the walk, I often notice things around me, like trees, birds, or the sky.
• It’s like a small pause from the busy world of studying.
• This makes me happy and helps me approach my work with a more positive mindset.
• In the end, taking these short walks has become a helpful routine for me.
• It not only makes my mind clearer and my body more active but also makes the whole process of studying and working more enjoyable.
• I feel more balanced and ready to take on the next task after a little walk break.

Part 3 Follow Up Questions
1. Do you think everyone’s routine is different?
Well, I would say yes and no. If we categorise routine according to age groups then children’s routine is mostly about spending time at school and at home, whereas for adults it is mostly work and home. But if we see individually then not everyone has same working hours, some do morning shifts whereas others work in night shifts. Some stay back at home to take care of their children. In a nutshell, a person’s routine varies according to their age group an preferences.
2. Which jobs need a morning routine?
I believe that mostly the 9 to 5 jobs require a morning routine because people have to reach work on time. Some professions that I can think of would be that of a teacher, a banker and a government employee.
3. Is a daily routine important?
Yes it is very important to have a daily routine. It helps a person to stay organised and be more productive, without a routine life would become chaotic.
4. How do people organize their routines after getting up in the morning and after work?
I would say that mornings are generally busier. After waking and going through morning ablutions, some people tend to do some exercise, read the newspaper, have breakfast and get ready for work. Whereas after a day’s of hard work, people generally like to relax in the evening by spending time with family or watching tv before going to the bed.
5. Do you think children need to have a routine too?
Yes, it is essential that a routine should be set for children. If there is a proper routine for sleep, play and meals then the children would be more active and happier. It will also contribute to their overall growth.
6. Do you think routine is important for companies?
Well, I am a student so I can’t say much about the routine in companies but generally speaking I think routine is an aspect that is important everywhere. Without a routine there would be mismanagement of time in companies.

All jobs need patience. Without patience, things can go wrong and then even more patience is needed, as more time is wasted. So, one can do things better by doing things with patience, and it also saves time.

Time is the most precious commodity. So, even free time should be managed well and with patience.
9. Do you think Indian parents should allow their children to do whatever they want to do in free time?
Parents should plan the free time of their children to some extent, especially when children are very small. Even after that parents should keep a watchful eye on them, even if they loosen the reins.
10. What is the routine of people in your country?
It is very difficult to generalise. India is a vast and diverse country. Routine depends on age group, gender and occupation. Mostly people go for work in the morning. They watch TV and spend time with friends and family in the evenings.
