(Note: this is an honest, unbiased review and contains no affiliate links.) There’s a notion that people who ‘earn an income online’ are people who work from home every day in their pyjamas – people who have blissfully spurned the outside world of work.

For that hour and a half, he knew exactly what he would be doing, and that ritual – or routine – helped him deal with all the unpredictability that happens in daily life.

For myself, I tend to get bored with the same yoga practice over and over. I also find it difficult to carve out an hour and half for yoga on a daily basis, although half an hour is often doable. But I do find beauty in ritual, and lately, as I explore different ways to be more productive in my various pursuits, I’ve been thinking on the topic of rituals and looking at ways to incorporate a little bit more predictability into my day.
