12 Quick Wins for a calmer Sunday night

There's a simpler way to handle a calmer Sunday night than most people make it. It comes down to a couple of habits and a bit of patience.

Find a rhythm that fits your week

Don't aim for a perfect system on day one. Pick a single, obvious step, do it a few times, and let the routine grow from there.

Keep the tools simple

Keep a short list, not a long one. Three things you'll actually finish beat a dozen you'll only feel guilty about.

• Pair it with something you already enjoy
• Pick one thing to focus on this week
• Remove one distraction that gets in the way

Make it part of your routine

Pair effort with patience. Most changes look like nothing for a while, then feel obvious in hindsight.

The best routine is the one you’ll actually keep.

Make the default the good choice. Set things up so the easy path and the right path are the same one.
