Every day we get to work by the same route. By the way, we are back too. We choose the shortest route, calculate the time and follow this route every day.
Ordinary is the most appropriate word for the same route over several years.
I propose to change the route to work or back and in the future change the route once a week. It doesn't matter if you travel by car, public transport or on foot.
You can change the route not only to work, but also to the store. You need to change the route to the one you are used to.
What does it mean to change route? This concept is much broader than it seems. It is not necessary to take a different route, you can make changes along the usual route. I'll give you an example.
At one time, I got to work by road for a longer time; walked not to the nearest bus stops; sometimes I walked to work for about an hour or two; stopped a few bus stops earlier and walked further; caught passing transport instead of buses. Of course, I was often late, but punctuality was never my thing.
The way home from work was more varied. It would take a lot of text to describe everything. Therefore, the basic meaning of how to change the route should be clear.
Of course, I understand that getting to work, especially in the capital, is already a long task. And the new route can take another thirty minutes longer time. But at least once you have to do it.
So change your route, open your mind and take a fresh look at the environment of your new route.
