Create a bedtime routine

Setting the tone for a calm and collected workday starts not only at home, but the night before.  If are getting to bed late or waking up flustered trying to get ready each morning, this can negatively impact your focus and mindset at work.   

One way to set yourself up for a good night’s rest and smooth morning before work is to create a simple bedtime routine.  

Write a list of things that you need to do to get ready for bed (brushing your teeth, changing into pajamas, etc.) as well as up to 5 things that you can do every night before bed to make the next morning smoother and simpler.  This could include things like setting out your clothes for work, packing your work bag, or setting up the coffee machine – whatever will help you feel refreshed and ready to head to work on a good note.  Keep it simple and realistic.  

Estimate how much time your bedtime routine will take and set an alarm to remind yourself when it’s time to start your routine in the evening. Go ahead, try it out tonight!
