Episode 829: Sleep Better, Sell More: My Daily Evening Routine
About this episode
If you’re finishing your day by staring at a screen until your eyes burn, you’re sabotaging tomorrow before it even starts. Most agents have a "morning routine" but completely ignore the "evening shutdown," which is why they wake up feeling like they’ve already lost the day. This is our top 13 most watched video because it addresses the burnout no one likes to talk about. This needs to be back to help more people actually get some rest so they can show up sharp, not sluggish.
This is the second half of the MARVEL framework, the evening edition. I’m going over how to effectively "close the loops" in your brain so you aren't mentally writing contracts at 2 AM. We talk about the power of a brain dump, reflecting on your wins, and setting your top three priorities for the next morning. It’s about being a human being who knows how to turn off the "agent" switch. By the time you finish this, you’ll have a 5-minute ritual that protects your sleep and your sanity.
- Closing the Loops: How to clear your mental tabs so you can actually relax.
- The Reflection Ritual: Why acknowledging one win a day changes your long-term momentum.
- Pre-Planning: Setting tomorrow's "Big 3" so you don't wake up in a panic.
- Digital Detox: The simple boundary that keeps work out of your bedroom.

you know it's been a while since we've gone over the morning routine so guess what we're going over today the routine that i have that i think you would benefit from deeply if you would implement this to your daily life i was inspired for the morning one and then the evening one we're going to go over tomorrow i was inspired by how lrod years ago when we first talked and and then he has his own morning routine i thought well let's make one for me so i hope i inspire you to create one for yourself or at least use this one because i did a lot of research and i said what do the most successful people in the world do routinely in the morning and in the evening and i extracted that and i added that to my life so here goes i'm trusting this is your daily real estate this is a podcast it's a show five minutes every day to make you better as a real estate agent and as a human being today we're going on the human being side this is episode seven oh eight if
you need this message be on instagram and i'll send this over to you morning routine i call it marvel because it's an acronym and here's where it stands here's what it stands for and what you should be doing daily and it's for meditation can also be prayer but you choose right and i thought you could do both too some days i do both and for me it's starting with silence mindfulness just relaxation of the mind and reconnecting with myself just getting quiet it's all about being still and just relaxing meditating breathing in and out for it could be for just two minutes it could be for longer it could be 10 20 minutes i usually am in a hurry so this is much shorter next one m a ace for affirmations now affirmations sometimes has a negative connotation sometimes
it also it has a misunderstanding behind it very first time i tried affirmations at least purposefully was 2006 i remember it because it was i went to a Tony Robbins event and i learned about it more and i thought man really this is me speaking the truths about who i want to become impartially who i am too and i'd rather replace those negative words with positive words and phrases in my life so i know when things go maybe not the way i want them i'm repeating things that i know will make me better or at least will have me prepared to handle what i'm going through affirmations m a so i have a set for them in the morning r record your previous day and i use an app called day one an amazing simple app it's been around for years i was one of the first users connected with the owner amazing owner of the creator of this app i've been using it since 2011
so it's been a while so i can go back and check out all these cool stuff right but you can write it down because i have to be written i usually just dictate it and sometimes i do a short video sometimes i just type it in you can do all of them and then it reminds you throughout different days so hey remember this day remember that day it's important to kind of piece it together i don't usually look back i write it down and i never look at it again unless i'm reminiscing and sometimes we do as a family it's kind of nice v m a r v these visualization i have a whole process for this but for me visualizing it's pretty easy picture how you want the day to go how you'll show up what you're gonna achieve and i really center it around self-family business my hey how am i doing physically how am i doing mentally how am i doing emotionally spiritually anything stand out there Tristan and then i go to the next house how's business going anything i need to focus on that you think may need to what internally based on how the last
few days have gone what do i need to pay attention to in my business what about just me reading things into my business looking at it and saying hey where are my kpi's or what i want is an outcome what is this looking like anyway visualization it can be about your business it can be about yourself it can be about family it doesn't matter visualize it who do you need to be today to show up as your best self for that ee now this one i learned from Tony Tony Robbins and it's not about full exercise right ee is for exercise it's about really getting your body into motion motion enhances emotion he says motion creates emotion i i would say it enhances it and so for me it's about going down and doing 40 pushups or doing jumping jacks getting into motion so that for the next minute you're like boom done oh i feel that i feel that release of chemicals in my body i feel good right it's not going to replace your full on exercise but at least it gets you into the
right state quickly because the next one m a r v e l is for learning and for me sometimes i don't often have the time in the morning to go through and listen to a 30 minute podcast or read an hour of a book or anything like that so i simply grab a quick book excerpt from a book called the daily stoic by Ryan holiday and i read it i consume it it's maybe a paragraph maybe less it's a quote from a philosopher a stoic philosopher a Greek or Roman typically and then it has the excerpt on interpretation for that i read it gets me into the right state i know i'm ingesting something new because the challenge that we have in learning is that we often don't do it and then like Jim quick told me from the book of limitless he said Tristan most people are regurgitating their same thoughts that they had last week and they're not ingesting new thoughts new things that they're learning and looking at the world differently so that they can change and grow and
i want the same for you so marvel that's what it is if you need this in fact i actually have a PDF for this because i created it years ago when i created it for myself i'm like why don't i create a PDF and have it ready to go um i have it if you need it message me this is episode 708 message me and let me know that you need this have an awesome day
