Plan Your Day The Night Before

The day can be stressful.  However, you should plan your day before you go to bed.  If you have a journal, planner, or calendar, you can jot down your to-do list and any task you may have for the next day.  Take this time to identify the goals you want to achieve.  If you have made a large goal for the month or year, you can break these goals into daily task.  Write them down with a completion date and a schedule to follow.

This tactic works best and is extremely effective because it will allow you to get a good night’s sleep without staying awake trying to figure out what needs to be completed the next day.  Your day will start out less stressful if you have a plan on what needs to be done that day.  Even if you must change the game plan for the day, you will have a starting point to work from. 

As you spend some time planning for the day ahead, you will be able to sleep with a clear mind and you will be able to relax a bit better.  You will be able to start your day with a clear itinerary.  Any projects that were left uncompleted the day before can be listed in your planner with an action step on how to get things accomplished.  Having a plan will allow you to be up and running and the day will be productive.
