Morning Routine for Night Owls

Every morning routine assumes you bounce out of bed at six, glowing. You don't. This builds one around your real wake time and the thing you actually struggle with, starting slow and adding bits as it goes. For the night owl who wants more out of the morning without pretending to be someone they're not.

I want a better morning routine but I am genuinely not a morning person. I need something that works with that, not against it.

My wake-up time (or target): {WAKE_UP_TIME}
Work or commitments start: {COMMITMENT_START}
Biggest morning struggle: {MAIN_STRUGGLE}
What I actually want to fit in: {DESIRED_ACTIVITIES}

Design a morning routine that starts slow and builds, not one that assumes I spring out of bed rested and motivated. Sequence the activities to match how someone's energy actually comes online. Tell me the one habit that will have the most knock-on effect on the rest of the routine, and give me the minimum viable version for days when everything goes wrong.
