Have you ever had a day go completely off the rails before 10AM… and then felt like the rest of the day was doomed?

Yeah. Same.

Here’s what I’ve learned: the day doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. You don’t have to wait for tomorrow to start over. You can reset today. Right now, in fact.

That’s where this practice comes in. I call it “3 Daily Resets.”

It’s a way of breaking up the day into thirds—morning, afternoon, and evening—and giving each part of the day a simple ritual to help me transition from one to the next. Like built-in checkpoints where I can recalibrate and start fresh, no matter what’s happened earlier.

It helps me:

• Regain momentum when I feel stuck or frustrated

• Stay present without spiraling

• Avoid the overwhelm of trying to power through one giant, 15-hour day

Morning → Afternoon Reset

My morning has a solid routine: I make my coffee, open the blinds and curtains, and unload the dishwasher. Those are my signals that the day has begun.

From there, I dive into my morning work block—tasks I’ve already laid out in my planner the night before. This is when I do deep work, creative thinking, or high-priority projects.

When I’m ready to move into the afternoon, I reset with movement. That usually looks like a walk or a workout.

This helps me shake off the first part of the day—even if it didn’t go as planned—and shift gears. It marks the transition into a new energy, a new chapter.

 Afternoon → Evening Reset

My afternoons are typically filled with coaching, podcasting, or business tasks. And when I’m not careful, I’ll just… keep going. There’s always more to do.

But I’ve learned to insert a buffer. A soft landing.

Sometimes I do a load of laundry while listening to a podcast. Sometimes I run to the store or sit down with Mack for a snack. It might not look like much from the outside, but internally, these moments signal: “We’re shifting out of work mode.”

The real linchpin of my evening transition, though?

The kitchen reset.

I cannot make dinner if the kitchen is messy. It’s my brain’s hardwired rule. So I start by wiping down the counters, loading the dishwasher, and clearing the sink. I lay out what I need for dinner.

That ritual clears my mind—it’s like prepping the stage for what comes next. After that, I put on a show, some music, or a podcast and get cooking. Sometimes I’m in pajamas already. Laptop is closed. Work brain is off. That’s my full evening drop-in.

 Why This Works

The magic here isn’t just the routines—it’s the permission to start over multiple times a day.

You don’t need to wait for the clock to hit midnight to get back on track. You can press reset at any point. And honestly? That’s been one of the most powerful mindset shifts I’ve made in my personal and professional life.

Want to try it? Here’s how to start:

• Break your day into thirds: morning, afternoon, and evening

• Choose a simple action that signals the end of each part of the day

• Let it be ordinary—movement, a walk, a snack, even chores—what matters is the intention

Then notice how you feel. Notice how your energy shifts. Notice how much easier it is to move forward without carrying the weight of what just happened.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about rhythm.

Three resets. Three fresh starts. One grounded, flexible day.
