I start before I finish work on Friday by "wrapping up the week"

This entails:

  1. Clear my inbox
  2. Get my story to a particular milestone.
  3. Review what I've learnt during the week.
  4. Write down three good things that happened this week.
  5. Write out a list for Monday morning.

This usually takes all of Friday afternoon.

On the way home I debrief the day by mentally going through all that happened during the day.

Once I get home I don't have time to think about work. Three little boys keep us very busy.
When work does creep in I write down what I was thinking and file it away for Monday morning in work.
