Purpose: Build a short, plain routine for the first hour, so the day does not decide for you.
When to use: Use this if mornings tend to slide and the whole day slides with them.
Worksheet prompts
- What does the first hour usually look like right now?

Keep it to things that take a few minutes each. - What is the first thing that usually knocks it off track?
The phone, going back to bed, someone needing something. - How doable does that list feel on a hard morning?
You are not building a perfect morning. You are building a first hour you can repeat.
