7 things you should do every evening:
1. Make a Quick Start list
Planning your day the night before is good.
But what’s more important is how you start.
I make “Quick Start” lists.

But what’s more important is how you start.
I make “Quick Start” lists.
How they work:
Write down 1-2 priorities for tomorrow.
Then write down the *first* step for each.
Not 4 things and not 7 steps.
The goal isn’t to plan all your work.
It’s to automate just how you’ll to start.
Now put the list on your desk for the morning.

2. Prep the first food you’ll eat
A good day begins with high-quality fuel.
It doesn’t matter what time, just that it’s good.
Prepping the first thing you’ll eat the night before takes thinking out of it.

A few examples:
Take the eggs you’ll scramble out of the carton and put them in a bowl.
Cut the fruit you’ll eat and put in a container.
If it doesn’t need to be in the fridge, put it on the counter.
Make it an obvious choice in the morning.

3. Clean your work area
Research shows clutter impacts us in many ways.
It affects our emotions, behaviors + relationships.
It increases stress and anxiety.
It even impacts how we sleep.

4. Fill up a gallon water bottle
75% of Americans are “chronically dehydrated.”
That’s staggering.
But there’s an easy fix.
First, buy a gallon water bottle.
(Amazon --> "gallon water bottle")

Now, fill it up before bed each night.
Then place it where you go start your morning.
The kitchen table. Your desk. A reading chair.
I’ve done this every morning for 6 months.
I’ve missed my daily “water goal” twice.

5. Schedule 1 hour for you
Time alone is incredibly high-ROI.
It’s good for our health.
It’s good for our creativity.
It’s good for keeping us sane.
But it’s easy to forget when life gets busy.
Don’t. Each night, schedule 1 hour for you.

6. Start on one 1 chore
What’s one chore you have to do tomorrow?
Work on bills. Clean the house. Whatever.
Spend 5 minutes on it the night before.
The goal isn’t to finish. Just to create momentum.
That little “win” drives consistency tomorrow.

7. Eliminate 1 thing
Pull up tomorrow’s calendar.
What’s 1 thing you can take off?
Meetings are a great place to start.
Honor commitments, but delete the non-essential.
Deletion creates a mental “sigh of relief.”
Bonus points if you can eliminate 2 things.
