routinetrain

/ruːˈtiːnˌtreɪn/nounVerified New

Also in: Gewohnheitszug (Deutsch) · rutitren (Español) · habitren (Français)

The sequence of habits that runs on rails once the first one is boarded.

The routinetrain departs at the toothbrush and arrives, unbidden, at the front door with keys. Miss the first connection and the whole day runs late. Its timetable is unwritten and its punctuality is absolute, which is why breaking one habit breaks the whole service.

Etym. — routine + train — the chain of habits, coupled car to car.

Rel. — morningloop
