The Power of a “Shutdown Routine” at the End of Your Workday

Most people end their workday in a rush.
Close the laptop. Answer that one last email. Dash out the door (or into dinner prep).

But high performers? They shut down with intention.

A simple 5-minute ritual can change everything:

✅ Review what you completed today
✅ Write tomorrow’s Top 3 priorities
✅ Close tabs and tidy your workspace

This tells your brain:
“We’re done for now. Rest is allowed.”

It lowers mental clutter, reduces evening stress, and helps you start fresh tomorrow—without scrambling.
