An interesting way to think about routine my wife brought up to me recently is to take any kind of time component out of it. My morning routine doesn’t have any kind of time constraints beyond not leaving for work late. I think of a routine now as a series of steps, regardless of it if I’m consistent day to day, the routine itself doesn’t change. Shave, makeup, manage my hair if I need, feed the pets, get dressed. The fact that if I don’t do my routine in time my wife is late for work helps me keep to it, but if I do step one, the rest just follow because that’s just what I’ve convinced my brain the thing I do next is. Even on the weekend, if I’m going out and end up shaving, it’s very hard not to do the rest of the steps in order, and the clock and calendar straight up do not matter. If there’s a task you already do on a mostly daily basis, try to just do a new task after it every time, and when you get used to that, add another, and continue until your routine is built and ordered in a way you like.
