Why, when my get up time and my routine is identical daily, is there a variance of nearly 20 minutes of my ready to leave the house time?
In: Other
realistically, because your routine is not actually identical. Maybe you just take longer on some days and are faster on others.
Motivation,external factors like mailman or phone call,what you eat/drink(e.g.caffeine will get you excited),ambient temperature(more active when a little below your body temp,less active during hot or cold days),etc
Its a myriad really.
Your routine isn’t identical(did you check reddit for 2 minutes before you jumped in the shower or 5 minutes?), outside factors(your dog took an extra minute and a half to use the bathroom outside), absentmindedly wasting time(you look at the clock “oh, I’m ahead of schedule, I can take my time making breakfast”).
Small variations in time per task(you might shower in 9-10 minutes every morning, only 10% variance, but that’s a full minute of variation every day) will add up as your sample size grows(the number of days you are paying attention).
