As your life evolves, so should your routines.

Most people think of habit development as where it’s at. Habits are great - they’ve become so engrained in your brain you don’t have to think about them. But even better are routines.

Routines are sets of step-by-step actions you create to help you prepare for events, remember all your stuff, and move on to your next project. They can be created for just about anything, and they’re super useful for turning stressful transitions into auto-pilot actions.

You can create routines for:

  • mornings, chores, mealtimes, gym

  • group and solo study sessions

  • commuting, lectures, after-class notes

  • planning essays and projects

  • going home or to work

By designing short, simple, written routines for activities you do often, you’ll see how these tiny checklists will keep your brain from getting stuck and confused, and help you get into action faster.
