Daily Shutdown Routine

Create an end-of-day shutdown routine that helps me leave work mentally and start fresh tomorrow.

Work setup: [OFFICE / REMOTE / HYBRID]
Biggest end-of-day problem: [CAN'T STOP WORKING / RUMINATE ABOUT WORK / NO TRANSITION / FORGET THINGS]

Provide:
1. **Task Capture (2 min)**: Write down everything incomplete so it's out of my head
2. **Tomorrow's Top 3 (2 min)**: Identify the 3 most important tasks for tomorrow
3. **Inbox Scan (3 min)**: Quick scan for anything truly urgent (not a full process)
4. **Calendar Check (1 min)**: Confirm tomorrow's first meeting or commitment
5. **Workspace Tidy (2 min)**: Physical reset of desk for a clean start
6. **Digital Close (1 min)**: Close all tabs, apps, and notifications
7. **Shutdown Phrase**: A verbal or mental phrase that signals "work is done"
8. **Transition Activity**: What to do in the first 15 minutes after shutdown
9. **Evening Protection**: How to stop work thoughts from invading your evening
10. **The Compound Effect**: Why doing this daily transforms your productivity over months
