The Evening Routine: The Underrated Lever for Good Days

Everyone talks about morning routines — but a good morning is made the evening before. Three elements are enough.

1. Close the Day (5 min)

A quick glance: What's done? (Celebrate it!) What moves to tomorrow? Planning your day in the evening clears your head — unfinished tasks are proven to keep you from falling asleep otherwise.

2. Set the Stage (5 min)

Kitchen cleared, clothes laid out, bag packed. You're giving your morning self the gift of a smooth start — every little thing you prep is one less decision to make before coffee.

3. Wind Down (15+ min)

Dim the screens, mute the notifications, do something analog: read, stretch, listen to music. The transition matters more than the exact time.

The Anchor

Tie the routine to a fixed cue — like right after dinner or when the dishwasher starts running (habit stacking). And track it like any other habit: visible, binary, friendly.
