Clean up the house before you go to bed. (20 minutes - tops)

• Living room: Pick up and put away things, magazines, dishes, clothes, shoes.
• Kitchen: Clean it up, shine sink, lay out clean dishcloths, and run the dishwasher.
• Dining room/entrance: Clear the hot spots.
• Review your check list to make sure you have not forgotten anything.

Think about tomorrow before you go to bed.

Check your calendar and/or planner for appointments.

• Start a PODA (Parade of Daily Adventures) or "To Do" list for tomorrow.
• Think about: What can I do tonight that will make tomorrow morning easier? (make lunches?)
• Gather up items that you do not want to forget and place them in a spot by the door. Make sure you can see them before you walk out.
• Make sure children have their things gathered up and put away.
• Start Breakfast: Set table and plan what you are cooking (just make a mental note).
• If you plan to use the crock pot, then get some of those things ready so all you have to do is throw it together.
• Lay out your clothes for tomorrow. It is a simple thing that saves lots of time by being decisive. If something needs to be ironed, or has a spot on it, you can deal with it in a calm manner or choose to wear something else. Take it to the cleaners on your errand day, launder it, or fix that missing button according to your schedule - no pressure. All the stress has been relieved.

Focus on yourself before going to bed.

Cool down time: Get yourself ready for bed.

• Brush your teeth, clean your face, comb your hair.
• Take vitamins and other meds.
• Bath time! Bubbles mmmmmm...
• Put on jammies, or sexy night gown, or... nothing. LOL!
• You are now ready for bed. I am not saying that you have to go to bed, but you can, because you are ready to get between those sheets.

Reflect on today's accomplishments: Work on your journal, TaDa list (accomplishments), and/or Gratitude Journal.

• Read for fun.
• Read to each other.
• Listen to music. It doesn't matter what kind - just relax, and it has to be something you enjoy, or you won't do it.
• Prayer and/or Meditation.
• Snuggle in for the night and lights out. Go to bed at a decent time. Preferably at the same time daily!
• Fall asleep with a smile on your face and in your heart!
