6. Stay One Step Ahead
Good preparation goes a long way to forming better habits, and it can also save you a lot of stress, tardiness, and social strife. Try to do some everyday things in advance, like laying out your clothes for the next day and packing lunches before bed, to free up your mind in the morning. Keep a small shelf or organizer by the door where you can put everything you’ll need (jacket, purse, papers, etc.) for the next day, so it’s always in one place.
Can’t remember to arrange those things in advance? Turn to trusty reminders, like colorful sticky notes, posters on the walls you pass by most often, or a personal message to yourself on your phone’s home screen. The more “voices” around you, the harder it will be to ignore the reminder!
