Build a routine
Turn a morning or bedtime sequence into a checklist a child can follow themselves, with streaks for keeping it going.
Where to find it
More → Routines
A routine is a short sequence done in order — getting ready in the morning, the bedtime run-up, what happens after school. Written down, it stops being a set of instructions somebody has to give out loud every day.

- Name it and add the steps in order.
- Assign it to a child.
Where it shows
In the child’s own screen, as a list they work down. Ticking steps builds a streak, which for a surprising number of children is the entire motivation.
Why sequences rather than tasks
Because the nagging is usually not about the individual jobs — it is about the order and the remembering. A child who can see what comes next does not need to be told, and the adult stops being the sequence.
Adults can have them too
Routines are not children-only. A wind-down or a Sunday reset works the same way.
Editing
Change the steps whenever. Reordering does not lose the streak — the streak belongs to the routine, not to a particular list of steps.
