If your mind won't stop running through tomorrow's to-do list the moment you lie down, today's Extra gives you one specific way to close that loop before you ever get under the covers.
It takes about two minutes. Grab paper or your phone, get everything still pulling at you onto the page, then write one specific next step and a rough time next to each item. That specificity is what actually convinces your mind the item is handled.
Do this before you get into bed, not after. That's what gives your mind the proof it needs to stop checking for the night.
