Starting off the new year can be exciting but it's still just another day. Down in the trenches, it's hard to see daylight changing over to twilight. But once the kids are in bed (finally!) and the kitchen's clean, the dog's back inside, it's time for me to get ready for bed. Over the years, I've tried lots of things to help me fall asleep and the one thing that works better than anything else is...
Write it down.
Yep, that's my tip for today, just write it down. Whatever your mind is working on, just write it down. Then close your eyes.
Some nights I can have the bed filled with lists (tasks, groceries, misc. shopping), my master binder, my blog planner, my phone and my computer. I email tasks to myself to work for the next day, set up reminders for my phone, copy & paste my shopping lists to my binder, the fridge and then I email it all to my hubby a few states away. It's an important step in my day and I can't fall asleep without it. But once I'm done, whew! I rest easy knowing that tomorrow's going to start anyway but now I'm ready for it.
Blessings to you and your family!
Till next time,
Anie
