Complete One: 5 Things Successful People Do Every Evening

Every successful entrepreneur has a routine and has formed habits to help them achieve their success.  Complete One provide 5 top tips to do each evening to ensure a successful next day.

Having an evening routine is crucial for winding down and getting enough sleep to be able to perform to the best of their abilities the next day. Complete One’s Managing Director, Glen Lowes said. “My night time routine is one of the most important parts of my day”.  Here, Complete One share 5 things successful people do every evening.

1: Spend Time with Family

Entrepreneurs don't have the luxury of 9 to 5 working hours and can often struggle to have a work – life balance. Taking time away from work to spend with family has a calming influence and provides a sense of well being. Also importantly, spending time with family means they are more likely to be supportive.

2: Read

Successful people are always looking for ways to learn and reading is an excellent source of knowledge. It is important that the readings aren't always about topics related to work. Reading fiction or non-fiction can often have the added benefit of providing a different insight that could then be applied to work life. Reading purely for enjoyment is a great way to relax and unwind. Old fashioned books and magazines are the way to go as a study by the National Institute of Health suggests that reading tablets or eReaders can be disruptive to sleep because of the light.

3: Plan for the day ahead

Having a well set out plan for the day ahead can calm the mind as it allows the individual to rest in the knowledge that the day ahead is prepared for. Just before going to sleep is often the time when the brain goes into overdrive and many people can struggle to switch off. Having a plan puts to rest concerns about the following day.

4: Turn off phone and other devices

The biggest distraction facing people in the modern world is their phones and computers; Complete One says that switching them off will stop any temptation. Notifications from mobile phones, computers, and tablets are needless distractions when trying to drift off to sleep. It is useful to have a notepad and a pen on the night stand to note any ideas that may come to mind in night time, when they occur.

5: Get 7 hours of sleep

There have been many studies conducted to find the answer to the question, how much sleep does a person need? One of the most recent studies suggests that 7 hours is the right amount. Getting enough sleep is crucial to ensure maximum memory and brain performance. Of course as an entrepreneur there can be instances where 7 hours just isn't possible, however when possible get 7 hours of sleep.
