Wearing tefillin is a Jewish religious practice where a person binds small black leather boxes containing passages from the Torah to their arm and forehead during morning prayers. It is a physical representation of dedicating one's thoughts and actions to serving God, as outlined in the Torah.
Yes, traditionally, one puts on a tallit (prayer shawl) before donning tefillin. The tallit is worn during the morning prayers, and it is customary to put it on first to fulfill the commandment of wearing it while praying. After the tallit is on, the tefillin are then put on, following specific rituals and blessings.

In principle, tefillin should be worn the whole weekday until sunset (Shulchan Arukh Orach Chaim 30:2); and that is how our ancestors conducted themselves in ancient times. However, due to the spiritual descent which the generations have undergone (Talmud, Shabbat 112b), we now wear the tefillin only during the shacharit (morning) services (Shulchan Arukh Orach Chaim 37:2), since one must maintain a high level of concentration (Talmud, Menachot 36b) and physical purity while wearing the tefillin (Talmud, Shabbat 130a). We don't wear the Tallit during Maariv or at night, because "and you shall see them" (Bamidbar ch.15) is interpreted to mean "only during the day" (Talmud, Menachot 43a; Shulchan Arukh Orach Chaim 18:1).
