My Shut-Down/Switch-Off Ritual

When I’m done with work for the day, I tick off the to-do items I’ve completed (I love this part!) and transfer any incomplete items to the days I plan to work on them.

I leave my browser tabs open (you’ll see why) and take a shower. I generally play music and I find that really helps me unwind. I may or may not grab a shampoo bottle and sing along.

Invariably I have a bunch of ideas in the shower.

After my shower I add any ideas that have survived the vocal extravaganza to my diary or I create drafts in my still-open blog browser tab.

I do a final check of email and social media.

Then — this is the most important part — I close my browser tabs, plug in my phone to charge, turn off my monitor, close my diary, and turn off my office lamp. This little ritual makes me feel like I’m pulling up the drawbridge on work and letting my brain move into relaxation phase. It’s really therapeutic!

Next I watch some TV. Often an episode of a European crime show, or some stand-up comedy.

In bed I read until I feel sleepy, then try to put down my book, turn out my lamp, and snuggle down to sleep before my brain knows what’s going on and has a chance to get all fidgety about something that can totally wait till tomorrow.
