What this template is for
A morning routine works best when it runs on autopilot. This template pre-populates three daily recurring tasks so Klara can prioritize them for you each morning. The table below shows a fuller six-habit set — add the remaining three manually if you want a richer routine.
It is designed for anyone building a morning practice -- whether you are starting from scratch or structuring habits you already have.
Example tasks
| Task | Importance | Effort | Deadline | Recurrence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meditate for 10 minutes | 4 | Minutes | Today | Daily |
| Exercise or stretch | 5 | Hours | Today | Daily |
| Review today's calendar | 3 | Minutes | Today | Daily |
| Write 3 things you are grateful for | 3 | Minutes | Today | Daily |
| Plan your top task for the day | 5 | Minutes | Today | Daily |
| Tidy workspace | 2 | Minutes | Today | Daily |
How Klara handles these tasks
Klara works the same way whether you use just the three seeded tasks or add the remaining three from the table. Here is what happens once all six are active. Each morning, the tasks appear with today's deadline, and Klara calculates urgency based on how much time you have left relative to how much effort each task requires.
"Write in journal" (importance 5, Minutes) is the keystone — Klara surfaces it first each morning. Tiny effort, highest importance: a "Do now" claim that sets the tone for the day.
"Read for 20 minutes" (importance 3, Hours) settles into "Schedule" — meaningful but not the day-starter. It surfaces after the journal is done.
"Clear email inbox" (importance 2, Hours) lands in "Skip" most mornings. This is intentional — the template encodes a value judgment: morning hours belong to keystone habits, not inbox triage. Email rises later in the day on its own merit.
"Tidy workspace" (importance 2, Minutes) consistently lands in "Skip it." It is the lowest-ranked task by importance, and its trivial effort means there is never real time pressure. It only surfaces after you complete everything else.
After you complete each task, it vanishes from the project until tomorrow. Each task is a single entry -- no duplicates cluttering your view. Klara logs each completion, so over time you can see your streak building across days.
Completing "Exercise" immediately reshuffles the remaining five tasks. "Plan your top task" rises to "Do now" because it now holds the highest priority among what is left. The project adapts as you work through your morning.
Tips for customizing
- If mornings are short, change "Exercise or stretch" to effort Minutes to reflect a 10-minute stretch instead of a full workout. This lowers its urgency and lets planning take the "Do now" slot instead.
- Add a start time by setting a start date for each task at your wake-up hour. Before that time, urgency stays at 1 (Low) and the tasks remain in "Maybe" -- keeping your evening view clean.
- Remove tasks you already do without thinking. The template works best for habits you are still building, not ones that are automatic.
