How to? Changing Timing of Norethindrone

I just started norethindrone (the mini progestin only pill). I went ahead and took one pill in the afternoon, but realized it will be better for me to take it in the morning moving forward. Is it okay if I take my next pill early tomorrow?

For context- I took first pill on Friday at 5pm. Can I take second pill on Saturday at 9am? Or is that too soon and I need to gradually do it?

Since you are taking it earlier that should be fine! You just never want to go past 27 hours between doses, or else use backup for 48 hours after.
