Morning and evening preparation cards

Close the list with only the preparation you find useful.

Put tomorrow’s first step on a card

What needs another day?
Write a short note without solving every detail tonight.
Example: An unfinished application needs another session.
Where can I begin?
Name an opening action you can recognise.
Example: Open the saved draft and find the missing document list.
What should I prepare?
Keep this to one useful preparation if that is enough.
Example: Put the required folder beside the bag.
What can wait?
Optional preparation does not have to become tonight’s work.
Example: The wider weekly plan can wait for its review.
When will I put the list away?
You can skip this card and rest.
Example: After writing the first action, if that is useful tonight.

What is the confirmed destination?
Verify current instructions with the relevant provider.
Example: The location and arrival requirement on the current booking.
What is required before leaving?
Separate necessary preparation from optional extras.
Example: Find the required document and confirm transport.
What can be ready in advance?
Keep food, medicines and sensitive records appropriately stored.
Example: Prepare suitable non-perishable bag items.
What is the first departure action?
Make it specific enough to recognise.
Example: Collect the remaining item from its proper storage.

What is the work’s actual state?
Check saved, sent and waiting states accurately.
Example: Draft saved; updated figures still needed.
Where is the next action?
Keep confidential detail in an approved work location.
Example: Review the approved project channel for the requested file.
Who needs a handover?
A personal note does not notify another person.
Example: Send the necessary work update through the agreed channel.
When will I review work again?
Follow any real availability or on-call agreement.
Example: The next confirmed work opening.

Completing a checklist is not a condition for resting. This is everyday preparation, not a sleep treatment.
