There is no such thing as a fixed routine. The harder we try to stick to a rigid plan all week the harder it is to actually do it. We are not made to have everything planned, while we need structure we also need spontaneity to thrive.

I am a fast eater, I can eat a lot, and I don’t make the best food combinations, no wonder I get bloated after every meal. So, while I was trying all kinds of things, I’ve realized that I was avoiding committing to changing some of the worst habits every specialist pleads to stop doing.

Not once have I changed my plans to work during the weekend so that I could be part of something my friends wanted to do. I used to hate missing out, for me the fear of missing out, on short FOMO, was real and getting into my way a lot.

On one hand there was the facade of minimalism: its brand and visual appearance. On the other was the unhappiness at the root of it all, caused by a society that tells you more is always better.
