A routine is a series of habits chained together, each one cueing the next. Design yours deliberately and your morning or evening practically runs itself.

About this tool
Routines work because they reduce decision fatigue. When the sequence of your morning is predictable, the brain does not spend energy deciding what to do next. That saved energy is available for the day ahead.
The most effective routines anchor new habits to existing ones. Each completed step cues the next, creating a chain that runs almost automatically over time.
Key takeaways
