About this template
Without a clear end, work leaks into the evening. You check messages at dinner because you are not sure you finished everything.
This is one task that repeats every workday, with its steps as sub-tasks. When they are ticked, the day is done.
Tips from the template
- Set the time to about 15 minutes before you want to stop.
- Tick the steps in order; untick them as the task repeats.
