Five minutes, syne done
Write the unfinished things ye want tae come back tae the morn. Pick up tae three priorities, then print or save yer sheet. The five-minute timer is optional: ye can finish sooner or tak langer. There's nae richt nummer o tasks.
Whit this is based on
Scullin an colleagues (2018, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General) compared five minutes o bedtime tae-do-list writin wi writin aboot completed activities in 57 healthy young adults during ae laboratory nicht. The tae-do-list group fell asleep sooner. This smaw lab study disna establish a treatment for insomnia, an this sheet maks nae promise aboot sleep. Pickin a tap three is a practical addition, no a tested pairt o that study.

Whit happens tae tasks I dinna pick?
They bide on the sheet. The tap three are a way tae choose whaur tae stert, no a requirement tae finish awthing. Ye can edit the sheet an print or export it ony time.
