Summary
Reflecting on the day is beneficial for productivity and mental well-being. The shift to remote work during the pandemic eliminated travel time, making it necessary to find new ways to transition from work to personal life. Taking 10-15 minutes at the end of the workday to reflect and finish the day helps free up the mind and allows for quality time with family. This time can be used to check emails, go through notes, close open loops, and plan for the next day. Reflecting on accomplishments provides a sense of achievement and helps identify next steps. A good morning starts in the evening before, so cleaning up open loops and planning ahead leads to a more relaxed and focused morning.
