The routine concerns the institutional structuring of time and personal automatisms that everyone put in place, both to protect themselves from threatening uncertainty as to avoid the weight of small permanent decisions, freeing vital energy and possible creativity. It is a protocol of daily life resulting in a rational sequence of space and time bounded acts done within the sphere of the home or outside where the routine realizes itself by travels. This travels are dependent of the types of urban planning, the organizational locations and the physical networks, they are nevertheless opted under stress. In a first time, it is the field in which routines fit into that interests us here: to understand everyday life, we need to quickly define it designating its fundamental concepts. Then it is the definition of internal / external, public or private, routines, that will take us, to better examine their characteristics in terms of mobility.
