These are all great ideas. I do one in particular and would add one as well:

1. I always lay out my clothes the night before. Nothing like trying to get dressed and realizing you’re missing clean socks or underwear. If for some crazy reason you wake up late, it’s that much easier to get dressed and out the door quickly.

2. I make my lunch, pack my bag, set my wallet/keys/sunglasses next to the door, all the night before. When I wake up, I don’t have to think about making a lunch or forgetting things. I just workout, eat breakfast, and go.

Darius Foroux,
Evening time brain fatigue is common. Sometimes after light snacks and a good tea coffee also it is rejuvenating . But 3 hours from 7pm to 10 pm energy level is not same as in the morning.
I tend to see lighter movies or news or lighter reading. Comprehending is bit reduced.
Any more thoughts on it .India.

The problem I have with journalling and pointing out what I haven’t done is that I will stress out about what I haven’t done. “Why didn’t you do that? You’re such a time waster. If you can’t do that, how do you expect to succeed at university? You need to do more tomorrow”. And this continues all night until my body finally gives up at around 3am. I kick myself for the smallest mistakes until I’m too paralysed to do anything at all. And then NOTHING gets done. The pile of things I need to do keeps getting higher and higher to the point where I just bury my head in the sand, and every time I think about them I have to take my medication.

There’s gotta be a way to look at this mountain, take it apart and deal with it without fear.

This makes total sense to me – I like tangible actions that will make a difference. I keep a bullet journal to stay on top of my personal life outside of work – the perfect place for my daily recap of all things ‘me’. And I have heard about getting tomorrow’s outfit hung up in the bathroom or wherever is appropriate and I can testify that when I have done it, it works – I just need to be better at practicing the act of ‘planning ahead’. Thank you for the great ideas!
