The #1 productivity booster that changed my life
Happy Friday! I know what you’re thinking...”changed my life” is SO dramatic.?
And yet this one action I’ve implemented every day has impacted my productivity levels so significantly, that I just HAD to share it with you!
Get ready; it’s simple. It’s easy to do. And most importantly, it works!
It’s called “The Shutdown Routine.” And I have to give a shout out to Peak Performance coach Eric Partaker?who planted the seed for this game changing tool!
The Shutdown Routine is a meeting request I put in my calendar as my LAST meeting?every day. It signals the end of my workday, and transition to my home life each evening.??
This is particularly meaningful for those of us who work from home. Afterall, without an official shutdown routine or signal, it’s WAY too easy to continue thinking about work into the evening.?
The shutdown routine provides an opportunity to enter the evening with an unplugged mindset, confidently knowing everything is in hand, including what you will do - and when - the next day.
How to do it?
It’s simple.?
Start by creating an appointment in your calendar named: "Shutdown Routine.”
Then, copy and paste the following list into the meeting description:
After test driving this routine, I feel not only more productive, but definitely more balanced and focused, too!
I encourage you to think about your shutdown routine. How do you set yourself up for daily transition success from workday to evening??How do you send a signal when it's time to end?work-life and start home life?
Perhaps consider giving this strategy a test-drive. I’d love to hear if it’s a productivity game changer for you like it was for me!
