From the
book, 10X is Easier Than 2x:
The final
hour of the day determines the quality of your sleep as well as the
quality of your next day. Over 90 percent of people are 2x at
night, where they fall to unhealthy habits and consumption,
especially random online scrolling.
For 10x
sleep, put your phone on airplane mode at least 30-60 minutes
before bed. Write in your journal and include 3 wins you had that
day.
These wins
can be any forms of learning or progress you had.
Then after you’ve framed the day as a
win, write down what you want for tomorrow.
Other
tips:
-Have a few
other healthy wind down habits like meditate or stretch or a moment
of connection with someone you love and then commit to sleep. Be
excited and happy to fully shut down.
-Create an optional environment - dark, cool and
comfortable.
-Having a healthy wind-down process is key. Avoid
thinking about stressing topics and solve problems or have
tricky discussions earlier in the day. In prioritizing sleep, we
have to wrap things up and let things go earlier in the day.
Do
what needs to be done and say what needs to be said so you don’t go
to bed with crumbs! You will sleep better without a
racing mind when you go to sleep. Journal to wind down and figure
out what else sets you up for the best nights sleep.
-Quality sleep over quantity of sleep - The quality
of sleep is so much more important than the number of hours.
-Get a schedule going - Have a set bedtime and wake time and don’t
vary it too much or you’ll experience “jetlag."

book.
CHEERS to being intentional about how you end your
day, for the most awesome days!!
