Morning routine checklist (free download right down there) is the only reason I’m not still wearing yesterday’s socks in Denver, where the mountains are laughing at me and my cat is currently using my checklist as a chew toy. I’m in boxers with tacos on them, standing in cold coffee I just spilled, trying to remember if I own a hairbrush. My job? Still the smart-toothbrush project manager. I once told a client their toothbrush “vibes with their aura.” They bought 10,000 units.
I used to “wing it” every morning—wake up at 8:47, panic, show up looking like I lost a fight with a lawnmower. Then I made this checklist at 3 AM after too many energy drinks. Printed it. Taped it everywhere. Still fail half the items daily, but hey—progress.
My Morning Routine Checklist (Free Download): The Real Version
Here’s exactly what’s on mine (and yours now):
☐ 5:45 AM – Alarm (snooze max 3 times… okay 9) ☐ Chug 16 oz water (add lemon if I remember it exists) ☐ Don’t check phone for 10 whole minutes (lol good luck) ☐ Make bed (or at least kick the blankets to one side) ☐ 5-minute stretch or sad-dad yoga ☐ Brush teeth without scrolling TikTok ☐ Breakfast that isn’t just coffee (today: cold pizza counts?) ☐ 10-minute brain dump / to-do list ☐ Say one nice thing to mirror me (today: “you tried”) ☐ Leave house before full meltdown
### The Morning the Checklist Saved My Job
6:12 AM. Checklist says “brush teeth without phone.” I obey. Miss the Slack message that meeting moved up 30 min. Walk in calm, prepared, not smelling like Red Bull. Boss says “good energy today.” I almost cry. Checklist: 1, chaos: 0.
How I Actually Use This Morning Routine Checklist (Free Download)
When I fail 6/10 items, I just write “still breathing” at the bottom and call it a win
Print it → immediately spill something on it
Tape one to bathroom mirror, fridge, and inside shower (yes really)
Check off with whatever pen works (today: eyeliner)

Final Chaos Thoughts
This morning routine checklist (free download you hopefully just grabbed) isn’t gonna make you a millionaire tomorrow. It might not even make you on time. But it gives you a fighting chance before the world starts throwing meetings and toothbrush bugs at you.
