This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “consistency,” is brought to us by Warren. Check out his blog here!

Does consistency lead to routine or does routine lead to consistency?

Kind of a chicken and an egg sort of question.

One part of my routine that I count on is drinking coffee. (That might actually be a habit, but let’s not get into those for the time being.)

To drink coffee, I have to first make it. And I’ve decided of late that I’m really tired of having to make coffee.

Like, I get weary just thinking about having to fill the coffeemaker with water, throw out the old filter, wash the basket, wash the pot, put in a new filter, add the coffee … You see how boring it is?

But if I want coffee …

That’s it! I need a maid!

But first I have to consistently earn money.

Damn it!

*makes boring coffee myself*

It’s such a daily grind. (Pun intended.)
