Everywhere you look, on LinkedIn at least, there’s some doofus bragging about his morning routine.
(LOL just kidding, I also have morning routines that I love, no shade really.)
But we rarely hear about the evening routines. I’ve been paying more attention to mine recently because I do not get nearly enough sleep, and I struggle to go to bed.
Wonder if these two things might be related…
So, I’ve put together a new evening routine, with the help of my ADHD coach and my husband.
And I have alarms on my watch to remind me:
- 8.30 pm shower and get into my pyjamas.
- 9.00 pm brush teeth.
- 9.30 pm stand up off sofa.
- 9.45 pm get into bed.
Sounds daft, but last night I got 6 hours 43 minutes sleep, which is 45 minutes more than usual.
And I felt almost good this morning.
I’m gonna get to 8 hours sleep and my evening routine will help me!
Obviously some days it doesn’t work, and that’s okay. I’m aiming for 80% of the time, and that’s enough.
Over to you: when I say evening routine, you say…?
Set a timer, and write write write!
