a noun "routine" with an article and without

Hi,

I found that a noun "routine" can be used with an article and without. 

1. So many days are routine and uninteresting, especially in winter.

2. The job will be easier once you settle into a routine.

Any explanations?

"Routine" can be an uncountable noun too, in a more abstract sense. See here (inc. 3rd example sentence).
