Is Routine Down?
Written By The Aftertone Team
Check https://routine.co for live status. If Routine is not listed as having an active incident, the issue may be on your end -- try restarting the app or checking your internet connection.
What to do right now
1. Open Google Calendar directly. Your events sync there regardless of whether Routine is working.
2. Write your three priorities for the day. Open Notes or grab a piece of paper. Three things that have to happen today. Routine going down does not change what matters.
3. Check Routine's status. Check routine.co or their X account for live updates.
4. Start on your first priority. The real cost of a planning tool outage is not the 20 minutes it is down -- it is the hour you lose waiting for it instead of working.
