End-of-day shutdown routine
This prompt builds a short checklist to end your workday, based on your job and what tends to follow you home. It helps you capture loose ends, choose tomorrow's first task and stop thinking about work.
Create a 10-minute end-of-workday shutdown routine for me. My work: [e.g. remote software tester, manager of a small shop] What tends to follow me home: [e.g. unread messages, worrying about tomorrow, half-finished tasks] Tools I use: [e.g. Google Calendar, Notion, a paper notebook] Give me a short checklist of 5 to 7 steps in order, such as capturing loose tasks, checking tomorrow's calendar, choosing tomorrow's first task and a clear "done for the day" signal. Keep each step to one line and say roughly how long it takes.
Pick one physical signal to end the day, like closing the laptop lid or going for a walk.
