Although it is very important to establish a routine, life can become very mechanical if we keep on following our routine, without much of a purpose or relaxation. We all tend to fill up our schedules with this and that, that we end up barely having any breathing room. Margin is this  breathing room that

In order for your days to have order, it is important to have a routine. You can read about the importance of having a routine here. There are many ways to establish a routine. You can be very specific with the time in which a task is done, or you can map out blocks of
