Routine and novelty

Usually, there are plenty of good reasons to change our routines. And even when the reasons aren’t as strong as we’d like, changing things up is good in itself.

Why? We’ve been told that novelty is always good for the brain.

It’s curious, though—our brain’s main job is to predict what’s coming next, both internally and externally. Yet, it benefits from change.

Another example of antifragility: to grow in our ability to predict, we need novelty.
