How to Make Tomorrow Easier Before It Starts

β€’ Derrick Hines

In this practical episode, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down why so many people wake up already feeling tired, behind, and overwhelmed β€” and how small decisions made today can dramatically change how tomorrow feels.

Rather than relying on motivation or morning routines, this conversation focuses on what actually sets the tone for a better day: preparation, reducing friction, and ending the day with intention. Dr. Hines explains why the way you close your day matters more than how you start it, especially for busy adults juggling work, family, and stress.

This episode is about making life easier, not adding more to your plate.

Topics Covered:

Why tomorrow is shaped by how you end today

How preparation reduces stress, fatigue, and decision overload

The link between evening habits, sleep quality, and energy

Why relying on motivation sets you up to fail

Simple ways to remove friction before the next day begins

Creating momentum instead of constantly starting over

🎧 Tune in to learn how small, intentional choices tonight can make tomorrow calmer, clearer, and easier to manage.
