Tell me about a time you had to completely change your daily routine.

A natural way to answer

When I moved cities for work, my routine changed completely. The commute was longer, the timings were different, and for a while I struggled to adjust. Eventually I found a new rhythm that actually suited me better.

Key phrases to use

• turned upside down — completely changed or disrupted, often suddenly“The news turned our plans upside down.”
• get into the swing of it — to become comfortable and confident with a new activity or routine“The first week was hard, but I soon got into the swing of it.”
