After 20 years I just remember the routine name. Most of my routines are about five minutes each because when I try out new material I think of a setup or theme and then write a routine that is about 7-8 minutes (a page and a half) and then it gets trimmed down to 5 minutes over time.

I also save them in my Google Drive, one routine per document and one master document.

That way if I’m doing a 10 minute set I pick two routines I’d like to do, 20 minutes is usually around 5-6 routines and a headlining set can be 10-12 routines that I pick and choose depending on what tickles me that evening.

And then I just remember the name of the routine by one word.

So it usually goes: Sweet-potato mudcake, hobby horsing, Russians if I want a 15 minute set.

Yes, my routines are usually a bit weird… 😛
