I think that makes sense, and I would probably take the simpler path first just to see how it feels in real life.
If it ends up being awkward, then I can always adjust later without creating more work up front.
I usually try to leave a little room in the plan so I am not forcing every part of the day to behave perfectly.
That approach has helped me stay calmer when something small shifts unexpectedly.
I can check in again tomorrow after I test it once, because I may notice details that are easy to miss when I am only thinking it through.
Also, I have learned that moving one step at a time keeps me from overcomplicating things.
If you want, send me the version you are leaning toward and I will tell you honestly which one seems easier to keep consistent.

I tried the routine a different way this afternoon, and it actually felt more natural than I expected.
The main thing was giving myself a quiet start instead of jumping straight into everything at once.
Once I slowed down, the rest of it was easier to keep organized, and I did not have to keep backtracking.
I also noticed that tiny adjustments made a bigger difference than any major change I had considered earlier.
That was reassuring because it means I do not need to rebuild the whole process.
If you are still unsure, I would pick the option that feels easier to repeat on an ordinary day, not the one that only works when everything is perfect.
I can write up a quick outline later if that helps, but for now my first impression is that simple and steady beats complicated every time.
Let me know what you decide after you sleep on it.
