How it's used
This expression is a reduplicated form that emphasizes the repetitive nature of an action happening at the start of every day. It carries a slightly more casual and rhythmic feel than simply saying 每日朝早. It is extremely common in daily speech to describe habitual routines or morning chores.
Examples
He goes to the park to run every morning.
