Having a routine can be comfortable, but it can also get you stuck in a lazy rut.

Sometimes the only way to break a routine is to flagrantly disrupt it.

Thats why Adrienne Breaux atApartment Therapysuggests you remove your ability to plop on the couch at home altogether.

When you get off work, think of one thing to do before youre allowed to go home.

Or better yet, start planning daily activities ahead of time.

It could be running an errand, getting in some exercise, or even plopping on someone elses couch.
