I realized the other day that I am a creature of habit. I love my routines. On Saturday mornings, I’m up by 9:00 a.m., then on the treadmill, a shower, coffee, and then, by 10:15, I’m sitting at the kitchen table writing my blog. Sunday mornings one can generally find me drinking my coffee, reading The Times and cooking dinners for the week.

My comfort in my daily routine, follows through into my workday. If I am not in court in the morning, I am sitting at my desk by 9:30 (I am definitely not an early riser), drinking coffee, eating breakfast, and reading emails and, of course, the Gotham blog.  I generally do not start my busy work until I am finished with my morning routine.

In thinking about this topic I had a realization about myself, I am generally not a spontaneous person.  I like the comfort of my routines. How about you? Are you a creature of habit or are you spontaneous?
