Did you know that a productive start to your day actually starts the night before?

When we take some time to prepare for the next day the night before makes a big difference. I know I’m much more relaxed in the mornings when I take the time in the evening to straighten up the house and do a couple things to make the next morning easier, like program the coffee maker and pick out the next day’s outfit.

Evening Habits for a Productive Morning

Here are a few keys to making the most of your evening for a better morning.

Start Early

Make sure you start your bedtime routine BEFORE it’s actually time for bed. I’ve been guilty of this so many times… by the time I’m done getting ready for bed, it’s later than I’d like it to be and I don’t get as much sleep as I planned.

Prepare

What can you do the night before to make your mornings easier? Some ideas might be to pick out your clothes for the day, make the coffee and set the timer, or straighten up the house.

Simple little things can make a big difference in the mornings to create a cleaner, more welcoming atmosphere in your home to wake up to.

Rest

I think it’s important to give yourself some time to wind down. I like to do this by reading a book for a few minutes before I go to sleep. And not on my Kindle or smartphone.. a “real,” paper-pages, book.

Taking just 20 – 30 minutes out of your evening is well worth it to ensure a brighter, less stressful morning for you and your family.

Just to recap, here are some action steps to take to put this into practice:

  • Identify tasks that will make your mornings easier
  • Schedule time and make a plan to do them before bed
  • Put your plan into action!

If you’re ready to really transform your evenings, I wholeheartedly recommend Makeover Your Evenings!
