Dear FlyLady,

Before I write about my evening routine I need to say how amazing my morning routine is, it has transformed my life! 15 minutes is all it takes to make me pretty and ready for the day. I know whats on the calendar, my laundry is started, bathroom is clean, and I’ve even done a little exercise! Just a little, but that’s enough to make me feel good about myself!

Now, the fact is, if I don’t do my evening routine then I usually get thrown off in the morning, needing to “think” about what I’m doing (before coffee) and usually forget something, instead of the peaceful, mindlessly easy ingrained habit.

My evening routine is after dinner:
1. Check Calendar
2. Shine sink (even if the kitchen is not perfectly clean)
3. Fold & put away laundry
4. Set out clothes for tomorrow, right next to the scale.
5. Shower and PJ’s. No more laced up shoes for the rest of the
evening with no guilt

Thank you for teaching me to love myself!

Rebecca here: This month we are focusing on the before bed routine.

Part of this routine is gathering up everything you need for the following day and putting it in one place. This place is your launch pad. You will be able to grab and go!

Where is your place? Do you have a bag? A water bottle or your office in a bag?

Please share your own tips or stories on the benefits and blessings of the Before Bed Routine.
