Hi Angelina,
I could relate to this one! Indeed, the feeling of monotony/a rut/etc has an unpleasant tediousness and even depressing aspect. Also, it happens to be the case that for about the last year I've slowly been trying to write about the cultivation of a workable routine, so I appreciate your writing about routine. I am wondering if the speaker has any ideas about what they might envision as a nice way to break the monotony.
