“For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks.
Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and
the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time.
The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its
way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday"
is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and
con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do
it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.”

“Slow Dance:
Have you ever watched kids, On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain, Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance too fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day, On the fly? When you ask: How are you? Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed, With the next hundred chores, Running through your head? You'd better slow down, Don't dance too fast. Time is short, The music won't last. Ever told your child we'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die, Cause you never had time, To call and say Hi? You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere, You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower. Hear the music, Before the song is over.”

routine, we are able to conveniently disallow ourselves to do otherwise:
