Want to Fall Asleep Faster? Write a To-Do List Before Bed
The benefits extend beyond bedtime. Planning tomorrow before you wrap up today creates a clear dividing line between work and the rest of your life, says Alexis Haselberger, a time-management and productivity coach in San Francisco. “It helps you disconnect, mentally, from work at the end of the day,” she says, rather than running through your responsibilities while you’re trying to talk to your kids, catch up with your partner, or watch TV.
There’s a morning payoff, too: “You have a list, so instead of spending 30 minutes getting into your day, you can just start.”
Start with a brain dump

Once you’ve made that initial list, the daily exercise can be much smaller. At the end of each workday, choose three priorities for tomorrow.
