What this template is for
A morning routine works best when it runs on autopilot. This template turns six daily habits into recurring tasks that Klara prioritizes for you each morning. Instead of deciding what to do first, you open your project and the algorithm has already sorted them.
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
Each morning, all six tasks appear with today's deadline. Klara calculates urgency based on how much time you have left relative to how much effort each task requires.
Two tasks share the highest importance (5): "Exercise or stretch" and "Plan your top task for the day." They compete for the single "Do now" slot. Here is where effort matters. Exercise takes hours, while planning takes minutes. A task that requires a significant chunk of your remaining morning is more time-pressured than a quick five-minute task with the same deadline. Exercise claims "Do now" because it needs the most runway. Planning, despite equal importance, sits comfortably in "Later" because you can knock it out anytime before the day ends.
"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.
