One Chain for Your Whole Morning Routine

A morning routine is really a handful of small binary habits stacked together — make the bed, five minutes of meditation, no phone for the first thirty minutes — and each one is a natural fit for a binary task type: it either happened today or it didn't, with no partial credit to argue about. You can track each step as its own task with its own chain, which shows you exactly which part of the routine is solid and which keeps slipping, or bundle them into a single task if you'd rather see one combined 'did I do my morning thing' chain. Either way, Balanced chain mode is the right default here, because mornings are exactly where real life intrudes — a late alarm, a sick kid, a rough night's sleep — and a single derailed morning shouldn't cost you a streak that took two months to build. Keep a skip credit in reserve for the morning you already know will be chaotic, like an early flight, and let repair credits cover the morning you genuinely forgot to log. The goal isn't a perfect morning every day — it's a routine solid enough that most mornings, without much thought, still happen.
