I'm going to back up Eric Sheninger's argument here with evidence from my own experience. I never know what's going to be new in my world; the domain in which I am supposed to be expert is constantly changing. To cope with all this uncertainty I depend on routines. I get up at the same time every day, do the same set of things, eat the same thing for breakfast, the same thing for lunch, and so on. This newsletter is part of my routine. Even when I travel, I take the same stuff, packed the same way, do everything the same way at the airport. It's all so I don't have to think about any of that, so I can be fully occupied thinking about other things (or, when I'm traveling, jet-lagged and not thinking at all). I'm not sure the benefits are exactly as described, but the suggestions are good.
