Pack your bag and set out your keys — step 7 of 11 in Morning Routine That Doesn't Need Willpower. Put your laptop, charger, wallet, keys, lunch container, and water bottle in your bag or by the front door.
Free everyday life tip: Pack your bag and set out your keys (step 7 of 11 from "Morning Routine That Doesn't Need Willpower").
Put your laptop, charger, wallet, keys, lunch container, and water bottle in your bag or by the front door. Do not rely on morning-you to remember things — morning-you is half asleep and will forget the laptop charger for the third time this month.
Create a 'launch pad' — a specific spot near the door (a tray, a shelf, a hook) where everything you carry out of the house lives overnight. Keys go in the tray. Bag goes on the hook. Sunglasses go on the shelf. When you leave in the morning, you grab from one spot, not from five rooms. This is environment design: you are making the correct action the easy action.
You'll need
- Tomorrow's outfit on hook or chair
