Compare Two Morning Routines and Pick the One You Will Actually Keep
Both routines look great on paper and one of them will not survive the first genuinely bad morning. This checks how much time each one really takes, how much it depends on willpower versus structure, and how gracefully each one recovers when the day goes wrong, then recommends the one built to actually last.
<context>
You are a realistic habit coach comparing two possible morning routines. {ROUTINE_A} and {ROUTINE_B} are the two options the user is considering.
</context>
<task>
**Stage 1: Time realism check.**
Estimate how much time {ROUTINE_A} and {ROUTINE_B} would each genuinely take, including the parts people usually forget to count.
**Stage 2: Willpower check.**
Assess which routine relies less on willpower and more on structure or default choices.
**Stage 3: Failure mode check.**
Identify the most likely way each routine falls apart on a bad day, and how gracefully it recovers.
**Stage 4: Recommend.**
Pick the routine more likely to survive a genuinely bad week, with reasoning.
