Leave Tomorrow's Clothes on a Chairroutinedaily

Before getting ready for bed, picture tomorrow's plans and the weather. Choose a top, a bottom, and the small things you're likely to search for when you're half awake.

Put them on a clean chair or hanger, somewhere easy to see. Keep the bed and any walking route clear. The outfit only needs to work for the day; you can change your mind in the morning.

Then close the wardrobe and carry on with the evening. A few minutes of preparation are useful when they save a decision later, not when they become another reason to put off sleep.
