I keep on making a hachlata to daven every morning and it's so hard. I keep it for a few days and then forget about it till the next time I need to make a hachlata. (Won't mention chitas!)
Does anybody have any tips?

I travel to work every day (I don't drive), so that's when I daven. Otherwise, I prbobably wouldn't get to it. That, & breakfast - wouldn't happen if I didn't have to travel to work.

I have not davened properly in years.
This year's decision was not to eat before saying brachos each morning.

BH so far so good.

I daaven brachot while we wait for the kids bus/carpool. very not ideal.
then I try to get some more in once the baby goes down for a nap.

I say berachot and when I am in a hurry, Mah tovu, adon olam, first two paragraphs of korbanot, baruch shaamer, ashrei, yistabach, berachot before kriat Shema, Shema then Shemona Esrei, (then if I have time) most of Tachnun, some other tefillos depending on how rushed I am and then Aleinu..

I used to say all of psukei d'zimra, but I find it is difficult to go without talking while I am chasing my kids. I am also working full time now, so I am in a major hurry in the morning.

There have been a few times I have only said berachot, Shema and Shemona Esrei...

like mimivan, it really depends on how rushed I am. I have my 5-min shachris: brchos, karban tamid, shema and shemone esrei, or my 10-min, when I say also baruch she'amar, asheri, yishtabach, then all of bircos krias shema also. If I feel even less rushed, I add some more psukei dizimra.
Sometimes, I say less but slower - in itself a ma'ala. In any case, I feel it's important to have some kind of shachris routine. I mean, who doesn't have 5-10 min. somewhere before chatzos?!

I was told, for women, shema Israel and personal tefilos are enough.

10 minutes? I absolutely cannot get a minimum matbeah done in 10 minutes... I'm super slow.

ok, that's interesting that someone mentioned tachanun.... how many do tachanun at home and not in a minyan?

if you're slow, so say less, but I think brachos, korban tamid, shema and shemone esrei is the absolute minimum. as usual, ask your LOR.
I did discover that persistance and determination were the key and then I saw the siyata dishamaya to carry it out.

Read the book rigshei lev, I really recommend it! It tells you exactly what our obligations are and what the priorities are in tfilot. It's really helped me, now I know exactly what to do.

I know for a fact that differnt eidot and differnet rabbanim hold very different opinions abvout women's obligations in davening. It's important to ask your own rav and not rely on a book.

yes, he says that in the sefer too. howebver, it is an opinion to rely on.

ok I consider a minimal matbeaH more than that--- I'll look at the mentioned book, sounds good.

tachanun-- raise your hand if you do it? thanks!
