Regularity is more important than frequency

It's a strange reality that consistency is rewarded and regarded much more than sparks of occasional brilliance.
In every sphere of life and examples I have seen - blogging, eating, sleeping,  exercise ... regularity and predictability are more important than anything else. Why is this so?
Well mankind or even life in general is built around patterns of space and time. A routine builds patterns in our mind and reading a pattern becomes easy if there is predictability. We teach our kids about the Hare and the Tortoise. Yet the message can be taken to every domain.

The boat ride

Every Friday I try to take the ferry home. The walk from Town Hall to circular quay gives extra steps on my pedometer. The view of the opera House and just tgd relaxation of the motion of a boat is such a beautiful experience. I used to do this every day both ways of commute to the office. Sydney is home.
