Unpack gym bag
Sweaty gym clothes smell strong and emptying the bag feels thankless when the evening energy is already spent. The visual support below makes the evening's shortest but most unloved routine clear and bounded.

About this visual support
A gym bag has its own logic. It is small, but the contents are intense: a damp towel, a sweaty t-shirt, maybe a sock that escaped its compartment. The hallway already smells, and the task has a real deadline — clothes need to reach the laundry before bedtime — at the very moment evening energy hits its low point.
Visual support helps by making the routine short, concrete and closable. One card to open the bag, one for the laundry basket, one for the towel on the rack, one for the water bottle by the sink. With each step visible the child does not have to compute where things go, and you do not have to remind four times. The final card gives the task a border: once it is ticked, there is no more bag in your head.
A tip tied to this exact bag: put the laundry basket in the hallway during the week the routine is settling in. The distance from bag to basket shrinks enough that a tired body manages it. Once the habit holds, the basket can move back. In the Routined app the routine can be scheduled to the same time on every training day, so the evening keeps a predictable shape.
