Dwight, for your morning routines, do you work from the Outline, or from another view? This scheme sounds appealing, but I don't work from my Outline, so I would have to switch to it to complete the parent.
But it does have the advantage of being able to complete the whole routine at once which is nice. maybe that would get me to do them as a group, whereas now I pick them off individually.
