Tonight

Your wake routine, step by step.

  1. 01

    Set tomorrow’s alarm now

    “Let’s set tomorrow’s alarm while it’s easy.”

    On a hard morning: same alarm as today

  2. 02

    Alarm across the room

    “Alarm across the room. Morning you gets a head start.”

    On a hard morning: alarm out of arm’s reach

  3. 03

    Up at the first alarm, Key step

    “First alarm, feet on the floor. Lights on, we’re up.”

    On a hard morning: sit up, lights on

  4. 04

    Daylight in fifteen minutes

    “Daylight soon after waking. A window will do nicely.”

    15 minOn a hard morning: one minute at a bright window

Four steps

The short version is enough on a hard morning. Every step has a short version.

The details

Pal never offers to skip the key step, which can still be shortened.

About 15 minutes, counting only the timed steps. Going slower changes when you finish, never what you’re aiming for.
