Friday Closedown Ritual

One of the best in the business, Nicholas Bate puts it really well:

Never let a Friday finish before a plan for the next Monday. Oh boy, will you appreciate your tenacity and wisdom on Monday morning. 

Starting a regular closedown ritual helps clear your mind at the end of the week AND sets you up for the following week.

Ensuring you have captured open loops, and starting some planning for the following week means that you can start Monday morning positively. A bonus benefit is that you can eliminate Sunday Scaries, but knowing you have Monday morning in the bag.

I've been developing my Friday Closedown ritual for a while, and when I'm consistent, this is an essential part of my routine.
