NCG, Inc. Reviews: 5 Evening Routines of Successful Entrepreneurs!

So many people are fascinated with the success of entrepreneurs, but really what separates them from the average person, is the productivity. We all find ourselves obsessing about finding ways to wake up earlier each day, but it's not always about optimizing your morning routine as it is what you do at night that's really important. So, NCG, Inc. decided to review the 5 tips that can help you master your evening schedule to make your tomorrow more high-energy and focused!

1. Assess your day: what did I do today?

Ben Franklin was famous for his rigorous routines and schedules. He ended each day by asking himself one question, "What good did I do today?" The idea is on point, but if you're an entrepreneur, your question should be more focused. Take time to review your schedule, projects, and insights. Add in a few more questions: What progress did I make toward my vision and goals today? What am I grateful for today, specifically? Finally, what improvements can I make with what I learned?

2. Set three priorities for tomorrow.

What you do in the evening can insure your success the following day. Build momentum and think about your objectives, tasks, schedule, and desired outcomes. Use the MIT approach (Most Important Thing). You'll wake up with a clear agenda and be ready to accomplish more.

3. Set clear boundaries to decompress.

As an entrepreneur, it's easy to feel like your business is your life. But, set clear boundaries for when the work day ends ad personal time begins. There is an importance of rituals to help you transition from work to home. Take a walk, listen to an audiobook, or stretch to end your day on a peaceful note. If you like more structure, attend a yoga class or meditate. After that time, if at all possible, disconnect and enjoy time with family or friends, decompress, engage in hobbies, or catch up on your rest.

4. Master sleep hygiene.

Sleep hygiene? Well, more than seventy million Americans experience some form of sleep disorder. Entrepreneurs have more sleepless nights than most. Prioritizing sleep and protecting that time is essential to sleeping when you're struggling with anxiety, fatigue, and other issues that can arise as part of the entrepreneurial life. Try not to work or watch television in bed. Make your room as dark as possible without blackout shades and make it a "screen-free" zone. Keep it cooler and invest in a comfortable mattress. Give yourself enough time to unwind before bed so you can actually sleep!

5. Do one thing for pleasure!

It can be easy to lose sight of why you're working so hard: to acheive financial freedom, build security for your family, or to change the world. Whatever your goals may be, do something every night that brings you joy! Spend time with your family, indulge in a self-care like a long walk or professional massage. Take time to watch a movie or read a book you've been wanting to get into. Make the most of your non-work time to refill the well a bit each day instead of relying on weekends or vacations. 

In conclusion, paying attention to your evening schedule adds some control and sanity to a packed schedule. It makes you have time for important things such as your family, loved ones, and health. Ultimately, you're able to keep your energy high and focus on your most important business priorities for maximum productivity the following day.
