Routine builder
Repeatable routines reduce morning decisions. Anchor each step to a time or trigger so the sequence is the same even when motivation varies.
Morning routine generator (example)
Pick a wake time and a budget in minutes. Each template step has a weight. Generated times are cumulative.
| Step | Weight (min) | Cumulative from 06:30 |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrate + light | 5 | 06:35 |
| 3-line journal | 5 | 06:40 |
| Top-3 tasks | 10 | 06:50 |
| Movement | 15 | 07:05 |
| First focus block starts | — | 07:15 |
Input: budget = 45 minutes for prep before first work block
Calculation: 5 + 5 + 10 + 15 = 35 min used; slack = 45 − 35 = 10 min
Output: "Place 10-minute buffer before 07:15 start"
Calculation: 5 + 5 + 10 + 15 = 35 min used; slack = 45 − 35 = 10 min
Output: "Place 10-minute buffer before 07:15 start"
