What makes mornings feel hard?
Identify the exact friction points. (e.g., screen time distraction, feeling tired, clothes/bag rush, anxiety)

Friction Busters
Let's prepare for morning speedbumps! Choose or write a solution so we aren't caught off guard.
If I'm feeling really anxious/stressed:
What is our calming ritual? (e.g., box breathing, car ride podcast, listening to a favorite song)
