What does it mean that evening habits prepare for tomorrow?

Example: You spend ten minutes each night writing down unfinished tasks, setting out workout clothes, and dimming screens by 9 PM. Within a month, your mornings start forty minutes earlier with less friction — not because you became more disciplined, but because your evening self did the work your morning self would have resisted.

Try this: 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.
