Write one line each night in a notebook you keep for five years. It marks the day's end, gives you a moment to reflect, and builds an archive of roughly 1,500 lines that become a personal knowledge trove.

I'm here in my bed with a tip for something you can do as you prepare for sleep. Almost every night, I write something in this little book. One line a day. It can be a really good sentence I've read earlier that day. It could be an observation I've made or heard. It could be a question I'd like to ponder. Just about anything. It's a tiny ritual, but it does at least 3 things. First, it's a punctuation mark. A signal that the day has come to an end. That makes it easier for me to De-stress, shift my mindset, and prepare to fall asleep. Second, it offers a chance to reflect. If I scribble a thought or a question, I get to ponder it a little bit. If I write down a funny line, maybe I'll laugh and relax. If I write down a question that I'm wondering about, maybe I'll think about it when I sleep and actually answer the question when I wake up. Third, it's an amazing way to compile notes. This is a 5-year book. If I do this ritual, say, 300 times a year for 5 years, That's 1,500 good lines, smart sentences, intriguing questions, and deep thoughts. That's a huge trove of material that I'm gonna be able to use. So, PinkCast viewers, grab a notebook, write your nightline, and go to sleep.
