The 30-day bedtime routine challenge
Given that
- it takes thirty days to install a new habit
- I suffer from a lack of a bedtime routine, and

- pack gym bag
- switch off computer
and post the progress on Joe's Goals (the web equivalent of Benjamin Franklin's 13 personal goals):
And if you are wondering why there is so much oral care in my routine, well, you would do it too if you had spent a fortune at a gum specialist over the last year.
