Don’t stop thinkin’ about tomorrow
One of the best ways to get a jump on your day is to start thinking about it the night before.
Before you go to bed tonight, spend 30 minutes preparing for tomorrow:
- check your calendar for tomorrow’s events (business meetings, kids’ sports, etc)
- know what you’ll eat for breakfast
- pack as much of your lunch (and your kids’ lunches) as possible
- check backpacks, briefcases, totebags, and purses (lunch money, permission slips, flash drives, power cords, library books, homework, USB cables, textbooks, uniforms, instruments, sports equipment … this list can go on forever, can’t it?)
- lay out your workout clothes if you work out at home; pack your gym bag if you work out somewhere else – don’t forget your shoes
- lay out your clothes (and your kids’ clothes) for the day
- put your skin brush on the bathroom counter or scale, where you’ll see it first thing
- fill your water bottle
You’ll sleep better tonight, you’ll have a jump start on your morning, and it will make the whole day go easier.
