Routines

Routines are recurring blocks in your day. Define what happens once, and you no longer have to make the same decisions from scratch every day.

They are the core of the app. If you use only routines, you already have most of the system.

That sounds simple, but it makes a real difference. When your mind is already full or your energy is low, working out what comes next is a genuine barrier. Routines remove that decision.

What it feels like day to day

Set up the routine once on a day when you have some capacity. After that, simply open the app during the day. It shows your next open step. You do not have to sort anything or remember where you stopped. Do the step, mark it complete and continue.

Examples

• Morning routine
• Winding down in the evening
• Lunch break
• Coming home
• Workout
• Kitchen reset

How long should a routine be?

At the beginning, use three to six steps—no more.

If a routine feels too large, it becomes difficult to start. That is not failure; it is how nervous systems work. Three steps that you use are more valuable than twelve that you never begin.

On difficult days

Sometimes there is not enough energy even for step one. On those days, do only the first step: drink water, hang up your jacket or put away one item. That is enough for today. Starting counts.

Routines and flows

The routine is the block, such as your morning routine. A flow is the sequence inside it, such as “Bathroom” or “Breakfast.” You can use a flow in several routines. Read more under Flows.

Focus timer for individual steps

You can start a focus timer for each step. It makes time visible and can help both with starting and stopping. Read more under Focus timer.

If routines do not work

That happens. Here are a few possible reasons:
