Example

Michelle’s workday used to blur into her evenings. She’d log off but still be thinking about emails or tasks. After reading Deep Work, she created a 10-minute shutdown ritual: a quick checklist, a note for tomorrow, and the phrase “work is done for today.” It felt cheesy at first. But it helped her brain shift gears. Now, evenings feel like hers again. Her partner noticed before she did.
