10 Genius Things Super-Organized People Do Every Night

Laying out clothes for the next day is another evening habit Ford Goldson never skips. "It removes decision fatigue in the morning and allows me to start my day with clarity instead of rushing," she says.

All it takes are a few minutes to refresh the kitchen for the next day. Before bed, Hubbard typically wipes down her kitchen counters, washes any dishes, and cleans the sink. "Trust me, nothing feels better than having a clean, organized space when you step in to whip up breakfast the next day," she says. She also checks for any clutter that might be lying around.

Amelia Meena of Appleshine Organization and Design always charges her phone in the kitchen while sleeping. It stays out of the bedroom. "It’s helped so much. Now, I don’t lose an hour just scrolling aimlessly before bed, and I don’t even have any social media on my phone. That’s a mental health hack that’s worked for me for years," Meena says.

Take time to tackle any clutter that might have piled up throughout your home. "I use this opportunity to sort through any mail, toss out unnecessary kids’ papers, and make sure backpacks are cleaned out and ready for the school day ahead," Hubbard says. It's a simple way to prepare for the morning rush, she adds.

"I also take a few minutes to write a simple to-do list with my top priorities," Ford Goldson says. "It helps me clear my mind so it's not racing when I’m trying to fall asleep."

Meena doesn't hit the sack without her favorite sleep mask. "It really helps calm my busy brain to fall asleep in total darkness," Meena says. "Sleep masks were always so uncomfortable until I started using this one. It has little cushions around the eyes to seal out light and still lets you blink or open your eyes without smushing them against the mask."

Put a little thought into your kid's lunch for the following day as well. Hubbard designates bins for children's snacks, so they can easily grab them as they head out the door. She also likes to prepare produce in advance. "Wash and portion fruits and vegetables into individual containers at the start of the week so lunch packing becomes effortless—just grab a couple of snacks and a container of fresh produce, and you’re done in seconds," she says.

Meena also recommends meditation apps, like Calm, to unwind every evening. "It gives my brain a simple, calming task that doesn’t take much bandwidth and comes with zero drama," she says. "I rarely make it through to the end before I fall asleep."
