The Story
When life gets less crazy, I'll finally get into a routine. Once things are calmer, I'll become the type of person who wakes up with the sun and remembers to drink a full glass of water and get a hearty workout in and not forget to brush my teeth. All this will be possible because I’ll have gotten into bed at a reasonable hour and read a chapter of a book before bed.
I've been telling myself this for years and things have not settled down; life is just as variable and complicated and changing as it has always been. I've tried pretty much every routine tracking app out there in an attempt to establish consistency through the chaos, but they all fail when I oversleep or have an early meeting and don't have enough time to do my full routine.
So, I created my own app, one that keeps me consistent with the basics even when I don’t have time to do everything in my ideal, ambitious routine. Not only does the truncated version ensure that I brush my teeth when I wake up late, it keeps me in the habit of a routine so on the days when I do wake up earlier, I can get those weights in too. And now I keep finding more corners of my life to use it in!
I hope it can help you brush your teeth, or whatever you have trouble remembering, too.
