To implement this idea with your morning routine, ask yourself these questions:
• What are the habits or actions that get you into a primed state for the day ahead?
• Which of those are necessary vs. nice to have?
• What's the most simplified version if you had to get it done in 5 minutes or were traveling and in an unfamiliar environment?
Using your responses, create your own version of A, B, and C morning routines. Track your execution against them for a few weeks and see how you do.
The best routine is the one that actually helps you get the important things done.
