    Here’s the list. Which one do you want to work on next?
    1. When you set your alarm before bed, put it on the other side of the bedroom.
    2. Add one personal item to your work to-do list each day.
    3. Keep a “Praise” folder in your email inbox.
    4. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go.
    5. Don’t go to sleep angry at the people you care about.
    6. Invest in quality, non-processed, organic food.
    7. Limit the junk food you bring into your house.
    8. Leave your phone on silent and upside down at all times.
    9. Write out a physical to-do list before you go to bed.

    On the water thing:
    Don't know where this came from, but you _do not_ need 8 cups of water a day, individual needs vary widely.
    Drinking too much water can strip micronutrients and electrolytes from your system and leave you worse off.
    Drink when you're *_thirsty_* (by all means have water readily available when you are, which is Matt's point), and be sure to have plenty of sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate as these will help you from becoming dehydrated.

    Matt, one more thing about going to bed angry...I don't believe everyone can benefit from staying up to work things out. In fact, there's a large body of research that says many conflicts happen as a result of fatigue when we don't have our the mental clarity. Many psychologists recommend a more custom-made approach for couples who decide on a case basis and are free to sleep on it or stay up late until they hug it out. Hope that helps! P.s. You look just like Ryan from The Office...and your video made me miss that show.

For me it’s like imagine that person doesn’t wake up the next day you won’t feel bad or guilty that the last time you talked you argued of something that maybe even was insignificant

    When it comes to "Don’t go to sleep angry at the people you care about", I think it depends. If you get frustrated or upset with your partner late at night, sometimes it could be better to get some rest and re-evaluate your feelings in the morning. Bringing it up when both of you are tired is much more likely to lead to an argument. If you give yourself some time to rest and calm down, it's often easier to have a calm and productive talk about it.

    I appreciate the genuine recommendation for quality food. Investing in drinking clean, mineral water and eating organic pasture raised/grass fed/wildcaught foods has made a real difference in my health. It’s twice as expensive, but I know the animals were raised humanely on a farm eating quality foods and frolicking in the sunshine AND it tastes so much better and I feel so much better. My thyroid is very sensitive to halogens in the water supply, and I was able to heal hypothyroidism with quality water and seafood/fish after being a vegetarian for 10 years. When you can afford the quality option, slowly start integrating those options into your budget and diet wherever possible. An investment in local farmers and your health is nearly priceless.
