Morning Routine
This is my most important checklist. It is hard to keep a good job without good hygiene habits. However, despite trying since I was a kid, I don't have good hygiene habits. I forget to shave, comb my hair, brush my teeth, put on fresh clothes, zip my fly, etc, without some sort of reminder. This list hangs next to my bathroom mirror. I also reference this list on my Before You Leave checklist, to be sure it is done.
There are two items for removing my glasses on this list. I don't have any for putting them back on, since that is instinctual for me. There is little point in reminding myself to do something I have no trouble remembering to do!
The order of tasks on this list is critical. The only recent adjustment to this list is that I moved "get dressed" further down on the list, so I have a little time to dry myself off before I put on fresh clothes. I'm still trying to get used to doing that - standing naked in my bathroom is very unpleasant, but so is putting on clothes while wet.
