Why a 15 minute evening routine timer works
- Reset one surface
- Write tomorrow's first task
- Screens away at the alarm
A five minute tidy, five minutes preparing tomorrow and five minutes without a screen. It works because it ends at a fixed time rather than whenever you give up.

Questions people ask
What goes into a 15 minute evening routine?
A five minute tidy, five minutes preparing for tomorrow, and five minutes of something calm. It works because it ends at a fixed time rather than whenever you give up.
How do I stop it turning into an hour?
Let the alarm end it, even mid-task. The habit survives because it is short, and it stops being short the first time you ignore the alarm.
What if I do not finish in 15 minutes?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. The point of the block is that it repeats tomorrow, and it only repeats if it stays short enough not to dread.
