Work backwards from the front door

Start with leaving

Set the time you need to leave, then list the preparation you actually do. Estimate each step using your own experience, including the small things you often forget.

Check the gap

Subtract the total preparation time from your leave-home time. If preparation would start before your wake-up goal, change a goal or shorten the routine yourself. BedtimePilot never silently moves your wake-up goal.

Move one task to tonight

Clothes, a packed bag or a prepared document can often be arranged the night before. This is a practical planning suggestion, not a rule about how mornings must work.
