ELI5:Why are humans so prone to creating and following routines?

What benefit do we get from sitting on the same seat on the train every day? Or walking the same path to work? What purpose does it serve?

In general, if you find a way to solve a problem, repeating the steps to solve that problem again will often end up in similar results.  If you are satisfied with the results, then there is no good reason to pick an alternative method for solving that problem.  This is valuable for highly important tasks, and it doesn't hurt us much when we apply the same logic to trivial tasks, so it's evolutionarily advantageous for us to follow routines.
