Do It Today: Overcome Procrastination, Improve Productivity, and Achieve More Meaningful Things

Good news: You make up the rules.
For example, one of my personal rules is this: Never
complain. Another one is: Read and exercise every day. And:
Close the day every evening by setting your next day’s
priorities.
When you combine all your productivity rules, you have a
system. Voila! And a system changes everything.
I rely on my system to work smarter, better, happier, and
effectively. It took me years to figure out that a system is a
good thing, and a few more years to create one, but it was
worth it. Because now, I get to be a productive person. Not
bad for an unproductive person, huh?

This 30-Minute Evening Ritual Will
Help You To Kick Life In The Ass.
After a busy day, it’s quite challenging to wind down and get
ready for a good night’s sleep. Too often I find myself
working until late. And sometimes I might find myself
reading or watching a TV show.
And when you’re ready to go to sleep, you can’t. Your mind
is buzzing with thoughts you don’t want at that time of day.
It’s no secret that a lot of people have difficulties with
sleeping. According to the National Sleep
Foundation, 
45%
of Americans say that poor or insufficient
sleep affected their daily activities at least once in the past
seven days.
Why’s the evening so important? Well, you might have a
perfect morning ritual, a fully planned calendar, and the
intention to crush your day, but if you lack the energy,
you’re not doing anything productive. 
During the past six months, I’ve experimented a lot with
evening and morning rituals. What I’ve found is that a
morning ritual is easy to implement in your life. But they’re
also easy to quit. When we wake up tired, we often fall back
on our, not helpful, habits.
End result? You lose, and life wins. You end up not focused,
our of control, agitated, and just not happy overall. That’s
why I’ve created an evening ritual that helps me to get
ready for some well-deserved rest. We all know it: Get 7–9
hours of sleep. But too often life gets in the way, and we
don’t follow common sense.

But with the following evening ritual, I’ve found a good way
to bring more consistency in my evenings, and therefore,
my life.
