  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

Why it works

  1. 1The wind-down starts at 9:30 PM on work nights. The phone charges outside the bedroom, so you read instead of scroll.
  2. 2The 10:30 PM bedtime is the same every day. A fixed time helps your body expect sleep.
  3. 3The first-week list mutes work notifications after hours and removes one commitment. The evening then has room for rest.
