📅 Present Simple: My Daily Routine

Level: A2  |  Time: 5 min  |  Focus: Grammar — Present Simple habits

📖 From Sourov’s world: I wake up at the same time every day. I make coffee — good coffee, the kind I learned to make at work. I write for one hour before anyone else in the house wakes up. This routine keeps me stable. It took me years to understand that routine is not boring. It is freedom.
