THERE IS NO SUCH THING!
What does your morning (routine) look like?
Oh dear, I have no morning routine, except that getting up is like tearing myself from heaven and plunging myself into hell, until I've had a cup of coffee, at which point I have the slightest bit of motivation to get about getting the kids off to school. Then it's to my desk, and dealing with the day.

Purpose is:
Oh this is a long question.
Evolutionarily, biologically, it's to reproduce. But if you want something a bit broader, here is my take:
There is no purpose except the one you want to create. Purpose is teleological, so "meaning' might be a better word. What gives you meaning?
Meaning is of course meaningless, except within the context within which it is defined. So for instance, a table is meaningless at an atomic level (it's just space), and a table is meaningless at a galactic level (it's atomic in size). BUT - at my level - the table that I sit at while I write this is very meaningful because it provides a rest to my arms, and if you hit me over the head with it, it could kill me, which would cause my children great pain.
So meaning is found within context.
What context matters most to you? For me, it is my children. I live because of them. My meaning, and my purpose, is to be a father. Anything else is a bonus.
THE SECRET SAUCE OF LIFE
This law should exist:
§
You should not be able to be verbally abusive to kids. When I see a parent doing that in public, I feel like it's the worst thing in the world.That, or, outlawing Android. Sorry, but it's so BADLY designed, it hurts my eyes. And no, I don't care if you customise it, because customising bad design still makes it bad!

THE MISSING PIECE
What’s something you have been doing wrong all your life until recently?
Going to bed late. Turns out, going to be at 9am and sleeping for over 8 hours is delicious.
NOTE TO SELF

Depends on the task! For what I do best, $500 perhaps?
