Mindless Routines (Published on Linkedin and Facebook on 10th September 2025)

 


The other day, I caught myself scrolling on my phone. No purpose or plan, but an hour disappeared before I realised.


It wasn’t laziness, just autopilot. My brain was conserving energy at the cost of moments I lost forever.

We often slip into these unnoticed routines, mornings without intention, conversations without presence, or habits that slowly drain our days.

What shifted things for me was something small:

I wrote down three things I often do mindlessly.

🔹️I chose one.
🔸️Before doing it, I paused and asked: “Is this what I really want right now?”

That pause became a gift, turning drift into direction. It reminded me of something deeper - every small moment is precious. To be present is to respect the time that has been entrusted to us.

Big change rarely comes in sweeping gestures. It’s born in tiny intentions—those daily choices that realign us with what truly matters.

What’s one small intention you’d like to set today to redeem your time?
