  2. Mute work notifications after hours
  3. Plan this week's dinners
  4. Put one fun thing on the calendar
  5. Say no to one thing

Chores

Each repeats after it was last done, so a missed day does not stack up

  • KitchenWipe the counters and stoveevery 3 days
  • BathroomClean the bathroomevery 7 days
  • BedroomChange the sheetsevery 14 days
  • KitchenTake out the trash and recyclingevery 3 days

Habits

  • Cook one meal at homeEvery day
  • Most important task firstWeekdays at 9 AM

Why it works

  1. 1The wind-down starts at 9:30 PM every day. The phone charges outside the bedroom, so you read in bed instead of scroll.
  2. 2You go to bed at 10:30 PM every day. A fixed time helps your body expect sleep, even in a new bedroom.
  3. 3The first steps set a bedtime alarm and put one fun thing on the calendar. A quiet first week then has something to look forward to.
