9 Things Successful People Do Right Before Bed

What you do before bed can impact your next day in a major way.

So, what do you do right before bed?

Here are a few things that many successful people do:

2. They make a to-do list.

“Clearing the mind for a good night sleep is critical for a lot of successful people,” Kerr says. “Often they will take this time to write down a list of any unattended items to address the following day, so these thoughts don’t end up invading their head space during the night.”

This is a great way for planning your next day out. Knowing where and what you need to do will definitely help your focus and time management.

4. They reflect on the day.

Kerr says many successful people take the time just before bed to reflect on, or to write down, three things they’re appreciative of that happened that day. “Keeping a ‘gratitude journal’ also reminds people of the progress they made that day in any aspect of their life, which in turn serves as a key way to stay motivated, especially when going through a challenging period.”

Vanderkam adds: “Taking a few moments to think about what went right over the course of the day can put you in a positive, grateful mood.”

By reflecting on the day, you can discover areas of self improvement you can work on which will then allow you to create action plans.

8. They lie down on a positive note.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of replaying negative situations from the day that you wish you had handled differently. Regardless of how badly the day went, successful people typically manage to avoid that pessimistic spiral of negative self-talk because they know it will only create more stress.

“Remember to take some time to reflect on the positive moments of the day and celebrate the successes, even if they were few and far between,” Woodward says.
