I used to start my day at 6:30 with a short walk and eggs. Now I hit snooze four times and stare at my phone in the dark. By the time I get up, I am rushed and grumpy. The dog waits at the door and and I feel guilty. The kitchen shows it. Bowls in the sink, cereal for dinner, mail stacked on the chair. My sneakers sit by the door but never move. I miss the person who packed lunch and set out clothes. I tried to fix it fast. I bought a small planner and bright pens. I set three alarms and made a chart on the fridge. It worked for two days, then it fell apart. I want a reset that lasts. What is the first tiny habit that will help me climb back? How can I stop the phone scroll trap in the morning? I need simple steps for sleep, meals, and getting out the door. This has been on my mind for a while and I'd love some real-world experiences. I learn best from step-by-step examples or what you'd repeat if you started over. I work full-time and squeeze this in around dinner and bedtime. If there are pitfalls you ran into, those would be super helpful to hear too. For context, I live with a roommate and we share most things.
