Today, I’m thinking about morning and evening routines. I reread the section of Leo Babauta's book called, “The Power of Less,” and I've been thinking about the evening routine all wrong. I was trying to fit my nightly routine in too small of a time. I've been thinking that I can start my nightly routine at 9:00 PM and finish it at 9:30. I'm inserting stress into what is supposed to be an stress-free routine.  This is why the evening routine should start when I get home.   Leo suggests only selecting four to six activities in your morning and evening routine and keep it simple.

My evening routine:

1) Taking Beans for a walk.

2) Cooking and eating dinner.

3) Have a conversation with my wife?

4) Pack lunch and prep are clothes for tomorrow morning.

5) Study or read a little.

6) Brush teeth/floss.

My morning routine:

1) Exercise.

2) Shower.

3) Have tea.

4) Eat breakfast. 

5) Write.

6) List my three Most Important Tasks.

Leave for work.
