Routine is that state where you do an activity either in expectation of a reward (in the initial stages) or with indifference born out of habit (in the later stages). Routine is important; necessary to lead you to conventional & sustainable success.
However, Flow is a higher state of the mind; almost divine. It is what leads people to become creative and exceptionally great at something. In the flow state, doing the activity itself is a reward. Other symptoms of being in flow state is that you lose a sense of time and even yourself. You need nothing more to feel exuberance, except doing that very activity.

Routine is enough to excel in day- to- day, mundane, repetitive tasks like eating, exercising, sleeping, skin routine, etc. But you need flow to really excel at creative or analytical tasks.

Continuing with the tradition, I'm numbering the posts which I personally feel are milestone realisations in the journey of my life. This is the 2nd one.
