A set of rules, routines, behaviours, tasks that you undertake on a consistent basis is your process.

Your process must move you closer towards your goals.

Otherwise, it is just bureaucracy. 

To quote from The Dark Knight, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain".

In similar vein, your process either dies when it's utility is achieved, or it lives long enough to become a bureaucracy.
