Routine vs Flexible

It is true that I like a certain amount of routine to feel comfortable, but I also get easily bored when life doesn't offer me enough variation and challenges. For that our global mobile life is perfect. 
I never had a "wash day" or a fixed day for cleaning the house. I always did what was most urgent or of higher priority: a visit to the doctor with one of the children or joining them on a fieldtrip organised by the teacher.
Chores were to me a Sisyphus task; a never ending story. 
In Greek mythology Sisyphus was a king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). He was punished for chronic deceitfulness by being compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill. Once he had reached the top he had to let the stone roll back down, to then start all over again, forever.
Maybe this approach enables me more to be flexible, to adept to the needs of family and friends or a new environment. It also relieves me partially of the stress of keeping everything under controle and organised to the minute. There will always be time for cleaning the house or doing the laundry another day.
