How do I evening habits prepare for tomorrow?

Quick Answer

Tonight, build a three-step evening shutdown sequence: (1) write every open loop in your capture system, (2) lay out the physical cues for your most important morning habit, and (3) set a hard screen-off time ninety minutes before sleep. Run this sequence for five consecutive nights and note what changes about your mornings.

Common pitfall: Designing an elaborate evening routine that requires peak energy at the time of day when you have the least — evening protocols must be low-friction by default or they collapse within a week.

This practice connects to Habit Architecture — building it as a repeatable habit compounds over time.
