Having a ritual makes my life easier and I don't forget the important things.

Meditation, exercise, 4 glasses of water and blogging get me off to a great start to the morning! If I miss this ritual in the early morning then I don't get round to it.

This ritual is followed up by dropping my son Tawfiq to school, reading, writing, client work, media work and speech preparation.

Even though giving comes natural to me, I make it a point to do at least one good act early in the day.

Going out on Friday and Saturday night with my wife Farzana is another ritual that helps me with maintaining the balance. Some people say this is mechanical but it works. If I don't schedule it, this does not happen.

How about you? What are your rituals?
