Daily Shutdown Ritual
A daily shutdown ritual is a structured end-of-day practice that creates psychological closure, preventing work concerns from bleeding into personal time. Popularized by Cal Newport and integrated into tools like Sunsama.
Newport advocates for a verbal shutdown phrase like "Schedule shutdown complete" to mark the transition, creating a Pavlovian response that signals to your brain that work thinking can cease.
"Just one more thing": Resist the urge—there's always more Guilt about incomplete work: Processing addresses this Urgency addiction: Most things can wait until tomorrow Lack of discipline: Start with 5 minutes and build
Consistent shutdown rituals train your brain that work has boundaries, improving both work performance (through better recovery) and personal life quality (through genuine presence).
