It is what the comic is saying, but the conclusion is different. The comic concludes that we should not attempt to escape by changing routine, but we must accept the routine and find ways to relax within it. The previous poster says that the excitement of changing your routine is a good solution, although temporary, it's still helpful.

I tend to agree: it's really nice to build up experiences and "novel routines". But you can't do it forever, at some point this becomes a "meta-routine" that drains you (it's not easy to keep changing your life).

The idea that it's better to stay where you are and instead meditate and build up good habits is great and I subscribe to it, but with caution. It should not be an alternative solution to, say, escaping a toxic work environment or a bad place. You shouldn't "meditate away" real problems.

Isn't it only in the context that wherever you go you need a routine I.e work? So does this argument break down for FIREd people, is it money problem?
