Routine vs change

We tend to associate routine with something bad i.e. stuck in a rut. Is routine always bad though or can it be a valuable tool for change?

There is a saying that you can't kick a habit, you can only replace it. What  if a structured, organised routine is employed to change a 'bad' routine, or the absence of a routine at all (essentially spontaneity at an extreme can also be a routine in the sense it becomes a comfort zone)?
