Ten Ways To End Your Work Day
1. Write down what still needs to be done.
Your brain shouldn’t have to remember it all night.
2. Choose tomorrow’s first task.
Starting is easier when the decision has already been made.
3. Finish one small loose end.
Not everything. Just something you can stop carrying.
4. Clear your workspace.
Tomorrow deserves somewhere to land.
5. Send the message you’ve been postponing.
Five uncomfortable minutes can prevent an evening of mental rehearsal.
6. Check tomorrow’s calendar.
The morning goes better when it doesn’t begin with a surprise.
7. Record what you accomplished.
A finished day usually looks more productive in writing than it feels.
8. Decide what can wait.
Unfinished does not automatically mean urgent.
9. Close the programs, tabs, and notebooks.
Give the day a visible ending.
10. Leave work where it belongs.
You are allowed to stop even when the work isn’t finished.
