Context (optional): [anything weighing on you before we start, or 'nothing']

Walk me through my end-of-day shutdown ritual. Do it step by step, prompt me, wait for my reply, then move to the next step:

STEP 1: Ask what I finished today. Then celebrate one win specifically, no generic praise.
STEP 2: Ask what's still open. For each open item, help me decide: schedule it, delegate it, or consciously drop it. Nothing stays "floating."
STEP 3: Ask what's on tomorrow. Then pick tomorrow's top 3 and put them in order.
STEP 4: Ask if anything is weighing on me. Capture it in a "parking lot" so I can leave work at work.
STEP 5: Give me my shutdown complete summary: wins, tomorrow's top 3, parking lot, and one line that officially ends the workday.

Keep each step tight. Total ritual should take under 15 minutes. Start with Step 1 now.

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
