Evening Wind-Down Routine

Review and write your top 3 tasks for tomorrow

Pick three achievable priorities to reduce morning decision fatigue.

Set calendar blocks and alarms for key tasks

Add time estimates and reminders to guard focus tomorrow.

Clear inbox to zero

Quickly remove clutter so nothing nags overnight.

Delete or archive non-essential emails

Skip lengthy replies—archive or delete what you won't act on.

Flag or snooze emails that need action tomorrow

Use flags/snooze to create a short to-do list for the morning.

Prepare outfit and pack work bag

Charge devices, pack keys, wallet, and any documents you need.

Tidy visible surfaces for 5 minutes

Clear countertops and put away items to reduce morning stress.

Put phone on charger across the room and enable Do Not Disturb

Remove screens from bed and silence notifications for better sleep.

Power down laptop and turn off bright screens 30 minutes before bed

Close tabs and log out to avoid late-night work creep.

Dim lights and set thermostat or fan for comfortable sleep

Lower light and temperature to signal your body it's time to rest.

Do a 10-minute relaxation routine (stretch, breathing, or meditation)

Use gentle movement or breathing to lower your heart rate.

Wash face, brush teeth, take nightly meds, then journal briefly and read for 10 minutes

Complete hygiene, jot a quick gratitude or task note, and unwind with a book.
