Friday evening approaches. Before you shift into weekend mode, take ten minutes for intentional closure. This practice prevents work from bleeding into rest and creates a clean transition between the two.
First, celebrate progress. What did you accomplish? Even small wins deserve acknowledgment. Write them down. Let yourself feel the satisfaction of work done.
Second, capture learnings. What will you do differently next week? What insight emerged that you want to remember? These lessons compound over time into wisdom.
Third, clear the path. Write down anything still on your mind so you do not carry it as mental weight. Trust the list to hold it until Monday. Then close the chapter on this week.
What will you celebrate from this week?
