What’s Better Than a Morning Routine

Do you know what's better than a morning routine? Because everybody's harping on the morning routines. Don't get me wrong, I love them too, and I'm a night owl. Or I want to be if I didn't have kids. So what's more important for me is the nighttime routine. And you don't hear a lot of people talking about it. What I've found with a nighttime routine and really getting clear about what you want to prep for the next day, I feel like I'm already ahead of the game before the morning routine. 

So I use NeuriCalm, which is a magnesium supplement for your brain, where I give it to the kids before bed. I like to do some writing if I can, nighttime automatic, sort of like Morning Pages, but night pages, I guess you call them. I just try and prep for the next day. I also sit down, not every single time, but I try and think of what those 3 most important tasks that are going to be tomorrow to make sure I know what they are even before I get up. I usually plan my week in advance, so usually, I could be able to pick that out pretty quickly. But those are the things that have been critical. 

Also, reading books or listening to audiobooks and painting or doing something that is not on my screens before bed has been hugely important. Yes, wear your blue blockers if you are on your screens, but what I found is I let myself use the screen time way too much, way too close to the bed. And as much as I would go like this to the children that did it, "Don't, not too close to bed," Right, I wouldn't listen. So putting it in a nighttime routine where I don't do that either, has been so magnificent for increasing my sleep and making it actually fruitful instead of waking up all the time, which is what I used to do constantly. 

So, I highly recommend starting off the new decade right and get a nighttime routine. All the cool kids are doing this too. Have an amazing day!
