I have a confession.
Ever since I came back from Japan, my routines were thrown off.
I got back into my deep work mornings (duh) because I felt like I lost out on time and progress while I was slurping Ramen in Osaka.
(Logically I know it’s not true because I benefitted from stepping away for 2 weeks)
BUT I’ve been slacking off with my evening habits.
In case you’re wondering what’s on the menu…
So wholesome right? 😬
Well, they’re good habits as we know.
But there’s a big problem…
I don’t feel any different whether or not I do them which made it easy to shove them aside — exactly what I did.
But I didn’t like that.
So last week I decided to get my shit together.
How?
By building a new evening routine.
It became apparent to me that trying to go back to my old routine isn’t making things easier.
Cue the pen and paper
Here’s the end result:
10:30pm sleep.
No tech 1 hour before bed - that’s when I’ll journal, meditate, and read on my Kindle (please don’t reply with Kindle is tech so you suck.)
No work 2 hours before bed - instead, I’ll be on my phone, do my stretches (also another habit I’m trying to build bc I’m stiff AF), plan my next day and set up for it.
So far I’ve been doing well with this and order is returning to my evening.
If you’ve been struggling with your routines, a reset can help.
It signifies a fresh start and we tend to do better with fresh starts - think January of each year.
All you need is to sit down, and have a pen and paper.
Plan things out.
Make a tracker in 3 mins.
That’s all you need for a start - whether it’s building a habit or a routine.
Don’t overcomplicate things.

Hey friend, Today I wanna talk about Mr Beast’s formula for success and extract ideas for you. In case you’re unfamiliar with Mr Beast… He’s only 25 years old. He accumulated 44,920,649,815 views. He has 245 million YouTube subs, making him the 2nd most subscribed channel. ABSOLUTE BEAST. No pun intended (don’t tell me you believed that.) So how did he win YouTube and what can we learn from him? There are 3 pieces to the puzzle: Attract attention, keep attention, deliver. The start For...
Hey friend, Hope last week’s been well for you. It’s safe to say last week was the most “exciting” week of my 26 years of life. Things are moving real fast in my personal life. I entered my new (and bare af) house for the first time — 4.5 years wait for this moment. It feels surreal to be a home owner + have a mortgage to pay for now. Who wants a video?! 🙋♂️🙋♀️ And we’ve made massive progress in our wedding planning despite countless headaches. There were many heart attack moments but...
Hey friend, Last week was THE MOST EXCITING week of my life. Without getting into the details because it’ll take too long… I’m getting keys to my new home after a 4.5-year wait (good news.) And thanks to some unexplainable traditions, I’m rushed to have my wedding on 31 March (bad news because I’ve 10% of the time to prepare for an event that usually takes 12 months.) Just yesterday, I had zero idea how I was gonna plan for a wedding, kickstart, and oversee the renovation process, while not...
