The Key To A Productive Morning Starts The Night Before

Welcome back, kindred spirits.

Since 2014, more people have been interested in the morning routines of successful people, while evening routines haven’t garnered as much attention.

As someone who thrives on structure, organization and planning, I believe following a morning routine is fundamental for having a productive day.

However, the key to productivity starts the night before because you need to wake up with intention in the morning so it can expand and define the rest of your day.

This intention is cultivated through a healthy, restful evening routine.

Here I’ve listed seven tips that you can implement in your evening routine for more productivity, intention and meaning the following day.

1. Set your bed and wake up times.

Every Sunday evening, I plan my upcoming week.

I schedule my sleep in the same manner that I schedule all of my other activities because it is a priority.

When I schedule it, it ensures — more often than not, as it’s not always feasible because… life — that I get 7 hours of sleep.
