How to Track Your Morning Routine on iPhone

Can I track your morning routine without a detailed diary?

You could track a morning walk, getting lunch ready or a short tidy before leaving. Give the activity its own name so you know what each X means. If you want to record a whole routine, you can use Morning Routine; if individual parts matter, keep them on separate calendars.

How could a calendar for your morning routine work in everyday life?

For Morning Walks, add an X after getting back from your walk. If you also prepare lunch, Lunch Prepared can have its own mark. A morning when you did one activity but not the other still gives you a clear record, rather than one tick that leaves you guessing what happened.

How do I use X Calendar to record your morning routine?

Use X Calendar to give morning walks a calendar of its own. After the activity, a tap on its date adds the X. You can return to that calendar whenever you want the dates together.

When you finish your morning walk, you can make the Morning Walks entry before moving on to the next thing. If the entry has to wait, return to the correct date when you can remember it accurately. You do not have to turn logging into a separate daily task: a brief mark for the activity is enough to keep its date available for later.

• Create a calendar called Morning Walks.
• After you finish your morning walk, tap that date to add an X.
• Open Morning Walks whenever you want to see the dates you have marked.

What can I see when I look back at your morning routine?

As the weeks go by, the marked dates show which mornings included the activity. You might find it happened more often on quieter workdays or at the weekend. You can use that view when choosing a routine that fits your life, without keeping a minute-by-minute account of every morning.

A routine can include several steps without needing several calendars, if one completed-routine mark is enough for you. Morning Routine can mean finishing the set of actions you normally do. If you want to know which individual step happened, give that activity its own calendar instead. The choice is about what you want to remember later, rather than making the morning longer just to keep a record.

Name the calendar after the part of the morning you want to remember, or choose one name for your complete routine.
