My ideal daily routine starts with waking up early in the morning, around 6:30am. I like to start my day with a cup of coffee and some quiet time to plan out my tasks for the day. After that, I like to go for a morning jog or a workout at the gym to get my blood flowing and clear my mind.
After my workout, I come back home and have a nutritious breakfast before starting my work for the day. I like to structure my work hours to be the most productive and try to finish any urgent tasks before lunchtime. After lunch, I like to take a short break and read a book or catch up on the news.
In the afternoon, I like to spend some time outdoors, whether it be going for a walk, visiting a park, or just sitting on my porch enjoying the fresh air. If the weather is not good I will just spend some time doing some hobbies like painting, drawing, or listening to music.
In the evening, I like to spend some time with my family, whether it be cooking dinner together, watching a movie, or playing a board game. After that, I like to have some alone time to tranquil and unwind before going to bed. I try to get to bed at a decent time, around 10:30pm, to ensure I get a good night's sleep.
Overall, my daily routine allows me to balance work, exercise, relaxation, and spending time with loved ones, all of which are important for my physical and mental well-being. I find that sticking to this routine helps me to feel more organized, productive, and fulfilled throughout the day.

I have many routines that I do every day, such as taking a bath, preparing breakfast for myself and sometimes my parents, going for a walk, studying, going to the gurdwara, and so on.
Here I would like to talk about a daily routine that I really enjoy and look forward to.
I have recently incorporated a daily routine of walking 3 miles at home with Leslie Sansone's walk-at-home app. My aunt introduced me to the program, which offers daily walks for people of all ages. Before this, I used to go for a morning walk, but weather conditions such as extreme heat or cold, or rain often prevented me from doing so and caused my routine to be inconsistent. However, by using Leslie's app, I have been able to maintain a consistent daily walk for the past year. I prefer to use the app on my laptop for the larger screen, and sometimes my mother joins me in the walk, which we do in our spacious living room.
I enjoy it because it gives me a feeling that I have something for my body. I used to be a bit overweight, but now I have lost around 5 kg, and my body shape also looks and feels much better. Earlier I used to feel lazy and tired, but now I feel much more energetic and healthier. I also suffered from insomnia and would toss and turn in bed for a long time before I actually fell asleep. Now, I am asleep within minutes of touching my head on the pillow. Because of a good night’s sleep, I have more concentration on my studies too.
This walk can be done any time of the day, but I like to start my day with it. Sometimes, if my morning is busy, I do it in the afternoon or evening. There are many other walking routines on the net, but I like walking with Leslie the most. She adds upper body and abs exercises with the walk, and that helps tone up the whole body.
IELTS Speaking Part 3: Follow-up Questions
1. Should children have learning routines?
Yes, of course, they should have learning routines. These add discipline to live. When children follow routines, they learn to manage time. I believe all routines teach something, so it can be a learning experience. For example, a simple family meal routine can teach children many things when they share their day’s happenings with their parents. They learn many social skills and develop a bond with their family. A routine of going to bed on time can develop children’s mental health.
2. What are the advantages of children having a routine at school?
There are many advantages of having routines at school. It gives students a predictable day at school. So, they feel more confident and secure. It also saves time. They don’t have to ask questions about what to do next. Teachers have already streamlined things for them. It becomes easier for students to become focused and attentive.
3. Does having a routine make kids feel more secure at school?
Definitely yes. For younger children, a routine engages them in learning and helps them feel safe in their environment, while it helps older children know what to expect and feel more comfortable. This is why classroom routines are important. Routines in the classroom make class time more enjoyable and productive. They offer students a sense of stability. By having classroom rules and procedures that teachers set, their students will know their expectations.
4. How do people’s routines differ on weekdays and weekends?
Weekdays and weekends are totally different, so their routines are also different. Weekday routines are good, but on weekends people can afford some flexibility. Of course, a person should also plan weekends. Otherwise, they will disappear without giving you any time for fun and relaxation. A weekend should relax a person after a busy week and also set him up for a successful week ahead. The weekend should incorporate family time, cinema time, outing time, socializing time and all that cannot be done on weekdays.
5. What daily routines do people have at home?
People have daily routines like a family meal, a morning prayer, household chores together, etc. Every family has routines set up, makings things easier for all members. For example,, my father buys vegetables, fruits, and groceries in my family, while my mother does the cooking and laundry. Before going to bed, my father checks if all doors, windows, and the main gate are locked. I take my dogs out for a walk twice a day. These routines are more or less fixed.
6. What are the differences in people’s daily routines now and 15 years ago?
Life was slower and simpler in the past. People spent less time on social networking sites than in the past, so they had more time to socialize. Routines included being with other people. Today’s routines are more about spending time with oneself and technology.
