Routine cards for adults in 3x5 and 4x6, morning, evening and workday

Routine cards for adults who want their morning, evening and workday steps on one small card they can lean against the kitchen counter or keep beside the laptop. The cards are cut to true index card sizes, 3 x 5 in and 4 x 6 in.

There are 32 undated pages in total. You get eight card layouts in both sizes with trim marks, lined and dot backs that match, 24 ready-to-use step cards and dividers for a card box. Both US Letter and A4 PDF files are included as an instant download, and nothing is mailed.

How routine cards make your day feel lighter

Spread the 24 step cards across a table and shuffle them until the sequence feels right. Then write those steps, with their minutes, onto a morning, evening or routine builder card. The workday start card holds your start up checklist, three priorities and a first focus block. Its partner, the shutdown card, wraps the day with a closing checklist, a note on where you stopped and the first task for tomorrow.

Clip the 7-day tracker behind any card to see which steps you truly keep, while the weekly reset and self-care cards hold the wider view. Nothing is dated, so you can begin on any day and print again only the cards you need.

Made for adults who want simple routines

• Grown-ups who want an easy morning and evening rhythm on a single card, not a whole planner
• Remote workers who need a clear beginning and a proper finish to the working day
• Anyone finding their feet again after a move, a new role, a new baby or a hectic season
• Fans of index cards who already keep habit or goal cards in a box

Design and card sizes

• A calm, elegant look: white pages and soft blush pink touches that need very little ink
• Roomy margins, so a home printer will not cut anything off
• Cards trim to exactly 3 x 5 in (7.6 x 12.7 cm, three to a sheet) and 4 x 6 in (10.2 x 15.2 cm, two to a sheet), with trim marks, printed on US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) or A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper
• No dates, so any day of the year can be day one
• Print on both sides and flip on the long edge, and the lined or dot grid backs match up with the fronts
