  Happy Monday, Harder Life Nation. It's Kelly Siegel and this is The Hard Reset. You've seen it everywhere. The perfect morning routine.

  Or is it your evening routine that sets the whole thing up? Let's reset the way you think about this. Morning routines get all the glory.

  The morning still matters. But stop comparing your morning routine to some influencer's highlight reel. If your nights are sloppy, your mornings will be too. So here's the reset. Win your evening and the morning becomes automatic. Stop obsessing about having the perfect morning. Focus on the setup. Start tonight.

  Shut down earlier. Prep for success. Give yourself a head start. Do that consistently. And your mornings won't just be productive. They'll feel effortless and habitual. I don't even think about my mornings. I just wake up and go.
