1. Write down tomorrow's 3:3:3 plan
• 3 hours on your most important project
• 3 shorter tasks
• 3 maintenance activities
Defining a "productive day" is crucial.
Or else you'll never be at peace (even with excellent output).

2. End the workday with a shutdown ritual
Create a short shutdown ritual (hat-tip to Cal Newport). Close your laptop, plug in the charger, spend 2 minutes tidying your desk. Then say, "shutdown."
Separating your life and work is key.
3. Journal 1 beautiful life moment
Delicious tacos, presentation you crushed, a moment of inner peace. Write it down.
Gratitude programs a mindset of abundance.
4. Lay out clothes
Get exercise clothes ready for tomorrow. Upon waking up, jump rope for 2 mins. It will activate your mind + body.
5. Pack healthy snacks
People are the worst version of themselves when they're hungry. So fix that; pack healthy snacks for tomorrow.
6. Charge your phone outside of reach
The morning alarm will spring you out of bed. And the day is on.
7. Do the dishes
Dirty dishes spill over into other areas of your life + mindset. Bill Gates says dishes are core to his evening routine. It will calm your mind, too.
8. Practice 4-7-8 breathing
I wrote a popular thread on the 4-7-8 Method.
The breathing technique will help you alleviate stress and fall asleep fast
(Going to bed at the same time every night also helps).

9. Give your mind an overnight task
Upon closing your eyes, give your mind a job. "How might I make an extra $1k each month?"
Don't try to solve it then; just release it to your subconscious (which will work on it overnight).
