Picture this: you’re lying down in bed on a Sunday night, about to go to sleep, when your brain decides it’s time to plan how you’re going to get your life together.

“Tomorrow, I’ll start exercising and eating healthier. I’ll wake up 10 minutes earlier to plan my day. And I’ll read ten pages of a book every day.”

But when the alarm goes off, you start procrastinating again. Instead of waking up 10 minutes earlier, you wake up 20 minutes late. You have no time for breakfast, so you grab a Pop-Tart as you sit down to work. And since you didn’t have time to plan out your day, you end up working until 9 p.m., leaving no time to work out.


And you probably didn't make time to floss your teeth either!
