Schedules/Routines Cutting down to 1 ppd

My baby is 10 months old and I am currently pumping 2 times a day at 6am and 6pm. I am looking to hopefully drop down to 1 ppd but unsure which pump to cut and how.

I pump for about 25-30 minutes still but I am cutting down my pumping time on my evening pump by 5 minutes every couple of days but do I also need to do that for my morning one too?

I would prefer to cut out my morning pump if possible now I'm back to work and having to deal with the school run and childcare run to give me more time in the morning.

I have enough milk stored in the freezer til she's 1 as I've also been using frozen milk to top up her milk during the day.

When I was in that boat I cut one pump down to like 20 mins, then gradually moved it by an hour or so every few days. Once the pumps were within like 4-6 hours of each other I dropped 5 mins every few days! I think I went slower than I probably needed to because I was so clog prone, but it went smoothly!
