So since some of you are interested in an "anti-age" program, or you’re just 30+ and it’s time to take care of yourself 😆, here’s what I’ve recently learned and am trying to incorporate into my daily routine:

1. First of all - keep a journal!

Yes, a classic recommendation - but trust me, it’s incredibly useful.

Write a plan for the next day every evening before bed. It only takes a few minutes.

But what challenges might you face if you share my mindset?

• Forgetfulness
• Procrastination/laziness (e.g., "I’m tired," "I’ll remember everything in my head," etc.)

Solutions:

1. Keep your journal in a visible spot: a coffee table, dining table (if you spend evenings in the kitchen), bedside table, etc.
2. Set a daily phone reminder at your usual bedtime.
3. Don’t stress if you occasionally forget - just keep practicing steps 1 and 2 daily.

Key insight: Research shows it takes ~66 days on average to form a habit (source), but this can vary widely (18–254 days). If you struggle the first week, keep going!

Why journal?

• Science-backed benefits: Boosts memory, focus, and critical thinking by strengthening neural pathways.
• Mental health: Helps reframe negative experiences and gain clarity.
• Goal achievement: Writing goals increases success rates by maintaining motivation.

(Personal note: I don’t always journal at night, but I always write my plan by morning. This helps me focus on priorities and avoid energy drains.)
