意味

Routine; a set of daily habits or rituals performed regularly for productivity, health, or wellness.

ルーティン became a huge lifestyle buzzword in Japan, partly inspired by the global 'routine' content trend on YouTube where creators share their daily habits. In Japan, the word carries positive connotations of discipline and self-improvement. Athletes like Ichiro made ルーティン famous through their meticulous pre-game rituals. Today it's used for everything from morning routines to skincare routines to study routines.
