Ordinary: normal, average, common, not special
Routine: habitual, easily done, done often without difficulty
Mundane: so easy it is boring, referring to a task/job/chore
It was an ordinary day. He went to work, came home, and went to bed. Nothing special happened.
The doctor told me it is a routine surgery. He does 10 of these surgeries per week and never has any problems.
My job is very mundane. I work at a factory and do the same boring thing for hours.
