Quick Answer

The most direct way to practice is through a focused exercise: Tonight, build a three-step evening shutdown sequence: (1) write every open loop in your capture system, (2) lay out the physical cues for your most important morning habit, and (3) set a hard screen-off time ninety minutes before sleep. Run this sequence for five consecutive nights and note what changes about your mornings.
