I like
routine. - Gail Porter
I like
having a routine, because everything else... is so unpredictable. - Jordana

Routinize
the routine. The things that aren't important to you, whether it's breakfast or
your commute, try to do them with the least energy possible so that leaves you
with more energy for other things. - Robert Pozen
Henry James, who was a 19th century literary
writer, would prepare for the next day after dinner the night before by making
notes about the topics and subjects he wanted to write about. By having a written plan, he would wake up
with clarity and purpose for his day.
I highly recommend a nightly routine. For me, I am working on establishing a new
evening routine by coming home and reading instead of watching television. My goals for this new routine are to help me
relax, increase my knowledge and accomplish my reading goal for 2016. After dinner, I washes dishes, prepare the
coffee pot for my morning coffee, make my lunch, pack my briefcase and wipe
down counters in the kitchen and bathroom.
In the morning, everything is ready and I do not rush around my
apartment getting organized. This is so
important to the success of my day that I have actually come home during lunch
if I have an evening meeting and prepare everything for my next morning.
CHALLENGE: Each of
us will have different things we will want to incorporate into our evening
routines including a beauty routine, reading before bed, etc. Below are articles of successful people and
what their evening routines include to help you research ideas. My suggestion is that your nightly routine be
geared toward helping you prepare to accomplish your action steps and 2016 goals
the next day.
