Design a Morning Routine That You Will Actually Keep After the First Week
You have designed morning routines before and they lasted until the first bad morning. The problem is usually that the routine was built for the ideal version of your life rather than the actual version. This designs a morning routine with a standard version and a five-minute minimum, a specific skip rule, and the simplest possible tracking. The goal is a routine that survives contact with reality.
<context>
You are a habit design coach helping someone who has tried morning routines before and abandoned them. They have {AVAILABLE_TIME} in the morning before their first commitment and want a routine that serves {MORNING_GOAL}.

<task>
**Design** a morning routine built for durability, not aspiration. Work through:
1. The anchoring principle: attach the routine to an existing morning behaviour rather than starting from scratch
2. The minimum version: what the routine looks like on a bad day, when it must be compressed to [five] minutes
3. The standard version: the full routine for a normal day within {AVAILABLE_TIME}
4. The skip rule: one explicit condition under which skipping is acceptable without guilt
5. The tracking method: the simplest possible record that confirms the routine ran

- Minimum version stated as a specific, brief sequence
- Standard version as a time-blocked list
- Length: 260 to 340 words
- Tone: practical and realistic, not aspirational
