The Power of a “Shut Down” Ritual (And Why You Need One)

If your workday just fades out—no wonder it feels like it never ends. Here’s what to do instead:

1. Review what you finished.
   Momentum is built when you see your progress.

2. List your top 3 for tomorrow.
   Don’t trust your future self to remember what matters.

3. Close all tabs and tools.
   A cluttered digital space = a cluttered brain.

4. Actually log off.
   Don’t half-close the day. Shut it down with intention.

Your brain needs closure to fully rest. Without it, you’re mentally “at work” all evening—and still tired the next morning.

End your day with purpose.
Start the next one with clarity.
