One of the things that I struggle with as I put together routines to support my life is meaning. It's one thing to take another person's routine and adopt it, but for me, this quickly turns sour if it doesn't matter to my life.

I'm looking at this more closely as I rebuild routines. A few months ago I did a 30 day challenge to get up earlier and do my morning routine. And while I am still struggling with that, part of the reason is that my morning routine has items that don't matter to me. I am not enthused about doing them because I don't see the point, and it has a tendency to derail my entire intention.

But I know that if I do cave, I will miss the satisfaction of getting important things done before I face the rest of my day. So here's how you can craft a meaningful morning routine.
