End of Workday Ritual Worksheet Overview
Think about the end of your workday. At school, the end of the day was pretty straightforward – a ringing bell clearly signaled it was time to go home. What signals the end of your workday now?
It’s important to disconnect from work when the day is done, so your personal time is enjoyable and restorative. Creating a ritual that signals the end of the workday and the beginning of your personal time is a great way to do kickstart this process – especially if your job provides no clear signal.
This worksheet will help you create an end-of-day ritual to help deal with burnout. If you’re really worried about burnout, we recommend checking out our complete work burnout workbook, which includes this worksheet and several others.
