He followed this routine while still playing baseball as a professional to prioritize his time. In an interview with The New York Times Magazine, A-Rod said: “I was in love with this structure. I had a list of my 10 things I had to do and checked it every night before I went to bed to see how many I had done.
Various researches have also shown that writing things down before sleeping helps the person to calm down. Which ultimately helps with a good night’s sleep. It helps reduce stress levels and keeps anxiety levels where they should be.
