Welcome to The Routine

A real-life productivity newsletter, The Routine examines how awesome people organize and prioritize their busy lives. It’s like if the Harvard Business Review and the Strategist had a kid who spent a lot of time with Goop as its babysitter.

The Routine is all about:

🧰 Tools and systems to keep you on track
🖥️ Doing your best work amid the other demands
🧸 Taking care of kids, family, and friends
🍅 Eating for pleasure and nutrition
💪 Fitting in fitness
💄 Recognizing the restorative power of beauty and fashion
🚲 Making time for hobbies and personal goals
🧠 Ensuring that rest and emotional health are not an afterthought

What’s all included in The Routine

The Routine Interview (how impressive people do it)
What’s Working (follow along as I kaizen my life)
• Plus cool extras for paid subscribers!

Why subscribe?

The Routine operates on a patronage model: Every issue is sent to subscribers’ inboxes for free. But I hope you’ll find The Routine valuable and support the work that makes this newsletter possible. Paid subscribers get access to the full website, including perks like exclusive shopping discount codes, The Routine’s Slack community, and the archives.

The Routine is an AI-free newsletter. Hand-crafted and agonized over by me.

What readers are saying

“I love reading this kind of stuff for inspiration. I also love the personal life stories woven in. Instant subscribe!” – Nathan Baschez, co-founder of Every.
