To-do list
Did you know that if you constantly worry about the things you have written on your to-do list, your brain might end up being overly active in the evening, which makes it harder to rest? As an antidote, there’s a 2017 study that discovered how writing down your list of to-dos might improve your mood, and help you feel more relaxed and in control, which will automatically lead to improved sleep quality.
So rather than just ruminating, you should try and put your pen on the paper. It will give you a huge sense of closure, as you’ll easily see which actions you already completed, and it will relieve some stress.
