Mixing Outside The Box – (non-digital):

Get a “real” Alarm Clock – I always turn my phone to airplane mode and put it in a drawer an hour or so before bed. I use a real alarm clock to wake up. This simple change helps my mind stay at ease, leading to better evenings and better mornings.

Write down things that make your week better on your planner –  Include both scheduled meetings as well as personal time events. If I look at the schedule and see too many days without time for pick up soccer or spending a morning pulling weeds in the garden, I remember to add those things in and reserve that time for recharging.
