Joseph Campbell’s daily routine for “the most important period of my study”
Routine is simultaneously marvelous at producing results and a prison of one&#x27;s own making.  I&#x27;m into archery and at a certain point I was shooting everyday. My groups got tighter.  Then, at a certain point a good shot lost it&#x27;s wonder and became expected.  I didn&#x27;t feel anything except disappointment when I made a less than perfect shot.  I then stopped and  better understood why those that are better are better.  There are no heroes, no calls to adventure or treacherous journeys - just a dull ceaseless repetition.  Like a hammer driving a nail.
