Why it works

  1. 1The evening unwind starts at 6 PM on weekdays. You close the laptop and leave the desk, so client work ends before night.
  2. 2You go to bed at 10:30 PM every day. A fixed time helps your body expect sleep.
  3. 3The first-week list mutes work notifications after hours. Client messages then wait until the morning.
