A deliberate end-of-workday practice where you systematically close out your work, review progress, plan tomorrow, and mentally transition away from work to enable genuine rest.
Popularized by Cal Newport in "Deep Work," where he recommends ending work by 5:30 PM daily with a shutdown ritual.
The ritual completes open loops in your mind, reducing the Zeigarnik effect (tendency to remember uncompleted tasks).
Solution: Add to tomorrow's plan instead
Solution: Recognize sustainable pace beats burnout
Solution: Communicate boundaries, set auto-responders
Solution: Done is better than perfect, tomorrow exists
