All-nighters are for people who don’t know how to plan

There are times when most everyone has needed to pull an all-nighter at one point or another. However, if you have to do it regularly it’s a sign of poor planning.

In a recent post, Ryan Holiday summed it up nicely:

Sleep is one of the most important parts of my work routine, period. All-nighters are for people who don’t know how to plan, who put things off to the last minute.

Getting a solid amount of sleep, every night, is one of the best things you can do for your productivity. Getting the right amount of sleep requires a wildly different approach for different people, but it’s something you can work into your schedule.

His post goes a bit deeper, and the main focus is that “the perfect day begins with a good evening”. If you can create a solid evening routine, including a consistent bedtime, your mornings will almost always be better.

On the other hand, if you find yourself having to pull an all-nighter, it’s either a very rare circumstance or a lack of planning to blame for it.
