To stay off your phone and beat snooze charge it outside the bedroom and use a cheap battery alarm across the room; keep an index card checklist by the coffee so you’re following steps, not debating them. Habit-stack the timing: start the kettle, do your five-minute stretch while it heats, eat a prepped grab-and-go breakfast (overnight oats or a yogurt jar), then a tidy loop of trash, dishes, surfaces, reset. For toast without the 8:05 plume and keep the setting low and butter after to reduce scorching, or pan-toast on low with a lid and wipe the pan during the last song as your “out the door” cue.

If you want plug-and-play reliability across floors the FHSS non‑WiFi sets tend to beat app cams; the Infant Optics DXR‑8 Pro or Eufy SpaceView have been solid for us through two levels. If you stay with WiFi, put the router centrally, create a 2.4‑only SSID for the monitor, and lock the channel to the least congested of 1/6/11. Audio‑only DECT units like the VTech DM221 or Philips Avent are even more bulletproof if video isn’t essential.

Most boards feel best at the high end so 14 to 15 for flat water and bigger riders and 12 to 13 if you prefer softer. Verify your pump once against any accurate gauge with a SUP adapter then use that offset forever. Temperature swings change PSI so check again after launch.
