Routines

Routines let you design repeatable sequences for different parts of your day, so the right things happen without re-deciding them every morning.

Three windows for your day

Xenith gives you dedicated Morning, Afternoon, and Evening routine slots. This aligns your habits with your energy: high-output work in the morning, maintenance mid-day, and a wind-down in the evening.

Building a routine

1. Open Routines from the sidebar (/app/routines) and create a new routine.
2. Name it (for example, Weekday Morning) and assign it a slot.
3. Add steps — each an ordered habit or task. Keep them specific and binary, things you can clearly complete or skip. Aim for roughly 5–10 steps.
4. Reorder steps so the sequence flows naturally.

Running a routine

Each day, open the routine and check off steps as you complete them. A progress bar fills as you go, giving you a clear sense of where you are without any pressure to be perfect.

Consistency, not streaks

Routines show your completion history as a calendar view so you can see your rhythm over time. There's no streak counter to break — a missed day is just a missed day, not a failure to start over.

Multiple routines per slot

Need a weekday morning and a different weekend morning? Create multiple named routines per slot and switch between them. Xenith keeps each routine's history separate.

Routines vs. habit tracking

Routines are sequential — a block of your day meant to be done in order. That's different from logging individual activities across your Life Dimensions, which happens naturally as you use each dimension's tools. Use routines for ordered sequences, and dimension tools for area-specific tracking.
