Summary
So you can't stick to your routine... now what? It's no secret that "morning routine" is one of the internet's favorite search terms. However, there seems to be a common thread: these crazy routines are tough to stick to! In this episode, Lily walks you through a few reasons why your routine doesn't work and how to create one that actually DOES! Per usual, she recaps her highs & lows from the week and shares a bit about her weekend trip to Nashville, which inspired the topic of straying from her usual, strict routine.

| 0:04.9 | episode. I'm coming at you live from my bed. You guys know that I have to set the scene for you. |
| 0:11.9 | I am quite exhausted, okay? I'm a tired girl. I'm so tired that I rolled over in the middle of the night for some reason |
| 0:23.3 | and decided that it would be a good idea to turn off all of my alarms and why 3 a.m. me decided |
| 0:30.9 | to turn off all of my alarms is just beyond me, but that's exactly what I did. I ended up waking up at like 7.30 today, |

| 1:48.5 | I was like, thank you so much for saying something. |
