Pay-it-forward to yourself.
Put out the clothes for tomorrow-you in the evening. Vacuum the living room as a favor for dead-tired-10-oclock-you.

Read for 30 minutes before sleep. Not just articles, but a real, paper-bound book. Helps with sleep, learning, and reading comprehension in the future.

Exercise. A little every day will make a huge difference.
Absolutely! It doesn’t matter how small you start.
I work a desk job and told myself I needed to exercise otherwise I would continue having back/health problems. I started with a 1-2 minute workout every day just so I could get in the habit. And if I didn’t feel like doing even that, I would at least do a few push ups or squats. Once I got used to taking that time every day I saw myself taking 5 minutes. Then 10, 20, 30… Now I commit to a 75-90 minute workout about 5 times a week. And I never thought it would get to that point but I started to enjoy it and look forward to that time every day!
