routineness
Lack of variation
The quality of being routine—ordinary, predictable, unremarkable.
Routineness describes the mundane character of repeated actions or familiar patterns: The routineness of his commute had become numbing.
The word emphasizes sameness over time, often with a hint of tedium.
