daily grinds
Monotonous work cycles
Daily grinds are the routine, repetitive tasks that fill ordinary workdays—the unglamorous labor that must be done regularly.
The phrase treats mundane responsibilities as something to be ground through: Back to the daily grind.
A daily grind can also be a regular coffee habit or the café that serves it.
