I tried alarms for routine setting and I had some success with it but in the end I would just turn off the alarms and ignore it.  

 

I also learned the strategy of piggy backing.  Its where you might want to start doing something every morning like putting earings on, for example but you can never remember to do it.  So you piggy back on to something you already do every morning.  So I wake up, go to the toilet (automatic), make my coffee (automatic), take my tablets that are next to the coffee (learned habit) and then have my earrings near the tablets (new habit in process of learning).  I hope thats not messy to read.  Once you['ve started the process of piggy backing you can ingrain lots of activities you are trying to establish in to a new routine.  Before you know it you have a string of good habits. 🙂
