Before creating a recipe, a chef has to define what the general perspective (the final flavour of a dish) is going to be like. Based on that, he starts to use certain ingredients that combined will create what he wants for the dish to be. That's what you have to do, specify a general perspective (or a why) for your routine, and then, start thinking of which elements would let you achieve that "flavour" you want for the first hours of your day.

Define Your Why of the Routine

After specifying a why, and thinking of the possible components your morning routine should have:<ol><li> Grab a piece of paper, </li><li>Write all those habits down, </li><li>Write the time you have for doing them,</li></ol>And create your "perfect morning routine" taking into account which of these have things in common, can go together, and will benefit you most in the long run.
