How to Use the Morning Routine Time Calculator
Every morning you glance at the clock and worry you're running late, but rarely calculate exactly how many minutes each task — washing up, eating, getting dressed — actually takes. Enter the duration for washing/showering, breakfast, getting dressed, packing up, and any other tasks, and this calculator adds up your total morning routine time automatically.
Add your wake time and you'll also get an estimated departure time once your routine is complete. For example, if you wake at 7:00 AM and your routine takes 45 minutes total, your estimated departure time comes out to 7:45 AM. You can skip the wake time entirely and just check the total duration if that's all you need.
If you have more than five tasks, just add up the remaining minutes and enter them in the "Other" field. Running the numbers once makes it much easier to see whether you're late because of one specific task or because your overall prep time is simply too short — and it also helps you fine-tune your alarm to leave just the right amount of buffer.
