How to Select and Follow an Evening Routine

Who this is for: Anyone who wants structure for their pre-sleep wind-down but doesn't know where to start.

Lucia, an elementary school teacher and mother of two who falls asleep on the couch most nights, wants a guided evening routine she can actually follow. She needs something structured but not overwhelming.

Steps

1. Navigate to the Routines tab using the bottom navigation bar.
2. Browse the template list. You'll see pre-built evening and morning templates. Evening options include:
   • Wind Down — 5 steps: dim lights, stop screens, read, breathing exercise, bed
   • Quick Relax — 3 steps for a shorter wind-down
   • Active Decompression — light stretch, journal, sleep music
3. Tap a template to preview its steps and estimated total time.
4. Select it as your active routine. Tap "Set as Active Evening Routine." The routine now appears on your Home tab as a checklist.
5. Follow the routine that evening. Open the Home tab. The checklist shows each step. Tap a step's checkbox to mark it done.
6. Complete all steps. When you check off the last step, the routine is marked complete for today. Your streak counter increments on the Home tab.

Expected Outcome

Your active routine shows on the Home tab each evening as a checklist. Your streak counter shows "1 day" after your first completion and increments for each consecutive day you finish the routine.

Notes

• If you miss a day, the streak resets to zero. The streak is meant as motivation, not pressure — start fresh the next day.
• You can have one active evening routine and one active morning routine simultaneously. Both appear on the Home tab.
• To switch to a different template, go back to the Routines tab and select a new one as your active routine.
• Plus subscribers can build a fully custom routine from a library of 20+ activities using the custom routine builder on the Routines tab.
