Most times, people talk about morning routines, and they go on and on and on. The truth is that having morning routine is good, but having a solid nightly routine is just fantastic. Actually the potential of your nightly routine cannot be overemphasized. As a businessman or an entrepreneur, after the hectic day's work, you should have a nightly routine, when you think about all that you were able to accomplish during the day. And things you need to work on.
What majority of human beings don't realize is that you spend a lot of time sleeping. A lot of people sleep for up to 8 hours every night. If you do the maths, we've all got 24hours in a day, you sleep for 8hours out of it. That means that you've slept for 1/3 of the day. Which is same as saying that you've slept for 33% of the day. If you keep this up all your life, that simply means that you've slept for 33% of your entire lifetime. That's quite huge.
Knowing this fact, and how a lot of your lifetime is used to sleep, wouldn't you want to take advantage of those sleeping hours to continue to work on your most important goals? I'm sure you'll want that. That's why nightly routines are very important, to take charge of those sleeping hours, and use them to improve yourself. Most people spend their night time watching movies and going on social media, as they sleep off. This is not really the way you want to go.
When you fall asleep, your mind keeps on working on the things you were doing right before you fell asleep, it keeps on processing those thoughts. Now, imagine that you watched your favorite movie, and all through your hours of sleep, your mind is working on something that will probably not add so much value to you, in relation to your big goals. You have to use the hours before bedtime to get your mind working on your big goals and big ideas.

There are ways that you can follow to have your subconscious mind, working on your biggest goals at night while you sleep. First, you should review your day in the night. It's only right that as an entrepreneur, you spend some time in the night to think about all that you did in the day, and how you can make improvements. Second, contrary to what most people say that you should plan your day in the morning, you actually should plan your next day at night.
If you don't plan your next day at night, the next morning, you wake up a bit confused, not knowing what exactly to do. That seems a bit late already to be planning. In the morning you should be executing plans you made in the night. Lastly, journalling, most times you carry many things on your mind and it makes it difficult to think clearly, you should write down things that you want to get off your mind at night. So you can plan your life better.

Hi @humor0404, working at night is a complex issue, in my case I have had to deal these last weeks with developing work late at night, I think it is not healthy regardless if you see your income increase, remember that health is the most important thing. Now if in my sleeping hours I can conceive my most important objectives that is probably a good investment.
I'm not saying that you should be working late into the night. And even that, depends on the circumstance you're in. What I'm saying is that it's important to take out some perhaps little time to review your day, plan your next day, and write down some things on your mind. This shouldn't take a long time to do. And then you go to bed. Thanks for coming around!
I believe in having proper night rest by I agree with you on working on some goals before we go to bed because those goals is what the mind will continue to process over a long time.
Exactly the point. Having a proper night is essential for overall well being. Just taking a moment at night to do your nightly routine is also very important to achieving your biggest goals. As your mind keeps on working on things you give it to process before going to bed. Thanks for coming around!
Hello @humor0404, I think the same as you: a good sleeping is essential to be at 100% of our capacity during the day. We have to rest to be able to process information correctly and to work efficiently. Very important words and tips.

Yes. But, also taking a moment at night before going to bed to review your day, plan your next day, and write down some thoughts on your mind is very important. Especially if you plan to use your next day fully. Thanks for coming around!
