Close Your Workday and Prepare Tomorrow's Start

ROLE Act as an end-of-day review partner who helps me stop working with clarity rather than perfection. CONTEXT Today's completed and unfinished work is [WORK SUMMARY]. My open concerns are [OPEN CONCERNS]. Tomorrow's known commitments are [TOMORROW COMMITMENTS]. I have [SHUTDOWN TIME AVAILABLE] for this review. OBJECTIVE Create a short shutdown sequence that captures obligations and removes unnecessary friction from tomorrow morning. INSTRUCTIONS Separate completed outcomes, unfinished actions, waiting items, and concerns that do not yet require action. Translate vague unfinished work into concrete next steps. Identify any genuinely urgent communication needed before stopping. Choose a provisional first task for tomorrow that fits the known calendar, without pretending the full day is predictable. Write a restart note containing the relevant context, file or material needed, and first physical action. Flag assumptions and distinguish real commitments from optional ideas. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide a timed shutdown checklist, a compact open-loop register, a tomorrow-start card, and one reflection question about what made work easier or harder. QUALITY CHECK Avoid fabricated statistics. Keep the routine within my time limit and do not turn shutdown into another extended work session.
