Every night I take the opportunity to sweep, mop, vacuum, wipe down counters, and tidy up general clutter that has accumulated throughout the day. I refill our water pitcher, prep the coffee pot for the next day, and lay out anything I have on my task list for the next day that I don't want to forget. If I have errands to run this could be a package I need to ship or the clothes I plan to wear. If I have laundry to attend to, I move it all to the washroom so it is ready to go. By taking this extra step to ensure the household is prepared for the next day, I save myself the headache of gathering everything in a last-minute rush.
