It’s always said that a productive morning starts when the preparation for it has been done well the evening before. Therefore, we must start making our evenings productive as well.
For that to happen, we must start unwinding in the evenings, stop thinking about work, and make our nervous system as relaxed as possible. This ensures that we can prepare better for the next day.
Says psychologist Maike Neuhaus on utilizing our evenings,
Two things keep us from being deeply happy. One is that we’re biologically wired to pursue quick wins. The other is that we don’t intuitively know how to flourish.
Steps to make our evenings more productive and prepare better for the next day
Here’s a list of things that you must do before the next day starts and ensure everything is done in the evening itself.
Disconnecting from work
When you want to prepare yourself for the next day, it’s best that you shut down on your work. Switch off your laptop, don’t think about work, and engage yourself in what makes your soul happy.
Choose your clothes or prepare the breakfast area
Additionally, you can also choose the clothes that you want to wear the next day in the evening. Moreover, you can also set up your breakfast area by picking what you want to eat tomorrow.
Prepare a relaxing environment
When you are unwinding for the day, you must ensure that your environment is relaxing. You can do this easily by dimming your lights, putting on some soothing music, and making sure that your room temperature is pleasant.
Journal your day
Furthermore, you can also unwind by journalling everything that you have done in the day as this will make us realize what you’ve been grateful for.
Don’t use electronic devices
If you truly want to recharge and refresh yourself for the next day, you should turn off your devices before going to sleep. Not using technology at night ensures that we get better quality sleep.
Create a healthy bedtime routine
Finally, you must make up a bedtime routine that is healthy for you and your body, mind, and spirit. Engage in activities such as reading, meditating, or stretching. This helps relax your body and instantly puts you to sleep.
Thus, this is what you can do if you want your mornings to be extra productive. Don’t get bogged down by preparation in the morning; instead do it the night before.
