Prepare the Night Before

I don’t do this nearly as often as I should, but if you only do one thing each day then spend a few minutes each night organizing your to–do list for tomorrow. When I do it right, I’ll outline the article I’m going to write the next day and develop a short list of the most important items for me to accomplish. It takes 10 minutes that night and saves 3 hours the next day.


use this as one of your homepages:
www.datecountdown.com

countdown the # of more times you're going to open your eyes in the morning.
(enter the day you turn 85 as the date)


and i'm going to try the Prepare the Night Before trick. i'll be happy if it saves me 1hr the next day

The cancer thread has me depressed... Using 85 as an end age is futile. 🙁

I agree on the to-do list for the following day. It definitely makes for a more efficient day, especially on the weekends when I can easily waste an entire day piddling.

why is it futile?
think optimistic?
 
I find that getting all my work clothes together in a bag by the door, with my gym clothes laid out by my bed cuts down my morning time from 1hr+ to 10 minutes.

Wake up, gym clothes on, contact lenses in, eat a few spoons of yogurt, grab my bag, and I'm off to the gym.
 
I'm terrible for that. I have a general idea of what I want to do, but I tend to drag my feet. My biggest issue is no matter how hard I try I just can't get up before noon on a day I'm off. I can setup all the alarm clocks in the world, I just seem to sleep right through and don't even remember them going off. But if I work or have to be somewhere it seems the alarms work.

We can inflate the number by taking naps during the day.

I wake up three times in a day. I travel 2x ~1.5 hours on a company chartered bus to/from work each day. So I wake up:

Once at home at 4:50 am.
Once near work on the bus after ~1 hour of sleep
Once near my home after ~1 hour of sleep on the way home

Works pretty well. Especially in the afternoon, sleeping for an hour on the bus helps clear my mind of "work things" so I can enjoy the afternoons. Still looking to find something else though. No way around the fact that it's 3 hours every day I could be doing something else.
