Why does nobody talk about the 25 minute fake commute after closing the laptop?
I used to go straight from the desk to the kitchen and wonder why I felt wired at dinner, then I started taking a short walk around the block at 5pm like I was leaving an office. That one change did more for my evenings than any planner app. Has anyone else found a small end of day ritual that actually works?
Did your friend happen to work from home too? Mine did, and she had this whole thing where she'd close her laptop and then walk to the mailbox at the end of her street, rain or shine. She said the first few days felt silly, like she was pretending to be at an office, but after a week her brain started to get it. By the time she got back she wasn't thinking about emails at all.
