Article: If you already have tasks you need to do each day (e.g., take medication) or if there are things you want to start doing each day, jot these down in a list and use it to plan out your routine. Try to lump together tasks that work toward the same goal.  For example, if your goal is to have a productive morning routine, then you should only lump together tasks you can accomplish in the morning and that make you more productive (e.g., taking your medication, responding to emails). It may be easiest to lump tasks together by time (e.g., morning tasks, evening tasks) rather than by purpose. Do you want your routine to make you more productive? To get fit? To live a healthier life? Before you can go about creating your routine, you’ll need to know what you want that routine to eventually accomplish.  For example, if your goal is to live a healthier life, you may want to craft a routine that helps you to get more sleep at night or that lets you cook healthier meals for yourself. The goal of your routine may also determine when in your day you’ll follow your routine. For instance, many people follow exercise routines in the morning because that’s when their energy levels are highest. Many people find it useful to write down the daily tasks they set out for themselves; this will serve as a constant reminder of your routine and also give you the satisfaction of being able to cross completed items off the list! If you want to follow a strict routine, you can also list the time you want to complete each task at (e.g., “7:30-eat breakfast. 8:00-leave for work.”). If you want to leave more room for spontaneity, simply write down your daily tasks in the order you want to complete them in. If you’re just starting a new routine, the tasks in your routine will seem much easier to achieve when you break them into smaller mini-tasks. Divide each task into its component parts and accomplish each mini-task 1 at a time.  For example, if your weekly routine involves cleaning your apartment, then rewrite that task into smaller tasks like vacuuming the carpet, dusting the furniture, and cleaning the bathroom. If a task takes too long, break it into smaller tasks that will give you a feeling of accomplishment more quickly to keep you motivated.

Article: Establishing routines positively affects your child in a myriad of ways. Children like the familiarity and it builds trust and a feeling of safety. It also gives little ones the opportunity to learn to start processes on their own, which builds self-confidence and self-esteem while also reducing the time needed to put shoes on your one year old if you are ever in a hurry to get out the door.  If you keep shoes near the door, for instance, your child will know that upon approaching the door it is time to sit on the steps (or floor) for “shoe time.” You can even explain why we need shoes as you put the shoes on you toddler. You can repeat a mantra, such as: first we put on the socks, then we put on the shoes, then we go play and have fun! Some children prefer to sit or stand while their shoes are put on while others prefer to be held. Depending on the preferences of your child, you should select a position that is both convenient for you and comfortable for your little one. If you prefer to hold your child, sit with your child facing away from you on your lap. Being so near the door may be too exciting for your toddler to sit still. If that is the case, try another neutral area that doesn’t contain their toys or other highly desired items that can cause angst. This can eliminate the headache of a toddler on the loose. The child is already strapped in. As a routine it also helps positively build your child’s emotional well-being while bringing you closer together. It can also be easier because your toddler will learn that to get out and having shoes on is a necessary first step.

Create an unremarkable routine. Experiment and find out how your child likes to put their shoes on. Consider the location where you put the shoes on. Put on shoes when your toddler is in the stroller or car.
