The workday rarely ends when you close the laptop, it just moves into the kitchen and the car and the last hour before sleep. This is a way to actually close the door: a short sequence of steps that signals to your mind the tasks are done for now, what to do with the loose thoughts that keep tugging at you, and how to build a closing habit sturdy enough to hold on the hard days too. Calm, direct, and easy to keep.
