Decide when your workday ends, or it never will on its own.
STILLNESS
STILLNESS
Work expands to fill whatever you hand it, and it will never announce a stopping point, because there is always one more message and one more thing to get ahead on. Without a line you picked in advance, the end of the day becomes whenever you run out of energy. That is not an ending, it is a collapse.
Choose a time and treat it as a real appointment. Close the laptop, change rooms, take a walk, anything that marks the switch. Some days you will break it, and the point is having something to break instead of drifting until bedtime.
What time will you stop working tonight, decided in advance?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
