Overview

A Morning Routine Checklist helps structure your morning routine with clear, actionable tasks. This ensures a smoother transition from sleep to full wakefulness and sets a productive tone for the day. The checklist below is an example, meant to inspire you to create or customize one that aligns with your own lifestyle.

The checklist divides tasks into essential start and end activities, and sections for different locations (kitchen, bedroom, studio, and "Battle Station" or workspace). The goal is to guide you step-by-step from waking up, prepping essential items, starting your morning rituals, and finally arriving at your work area ready to tackle the day.

Each task serves as a reminder to complete important steps such as setting up devices, organizing personal items, hydrating, and journaling. By following a routine checklist, mornings become more predictable and productive, minimizing decision fatigue and forgotten tasks.

Feel free to adapt and remix this template to suit your personal needs.
​
Adjust the checklist items, rearrange the order, or include additional tasks that resonate with your daily requirements.
​
The key is to create a tailored routine that supports a smooth start and fosters productivity.
