Every second counts, so let’s get right to it. 1 idea, 2 ways it saves you time, and 3 steps to Get It Done:
1 Idea
Use the final 30 minutes of your Friday to slow down and get ready to start your next week strong.
2 Ways it saves you time
1. Avoids Monday stress – Wrapping things up calmly on Friday helps you remember tasks and makes Monday easier to start.
2. Saves weekend energy – Closing the loop helps your brain switch off, so you can enjoy your weekend without work worries.
3 Steps to Get It Done:
1. Look back at your week – Check off what you finished, give yourself credit, and let your brain relax.
2. List 3 key priorities for next week – Keep it light. You’re not making a full plan, just leaving clues so you can start strong.
3. Tidy your workspace – Close open tabs, throw out rubbish, and straighten your desk so Monday feels smooth and easy.
Conclusion
Don’t end your week in a rush. A short cooldown helps you switch off and stay sharp.
It’s how high performers avoid burnout while still getting results.
“But Fridays are crazy, I don’t have 30 minutes!”
No worries, just take five. Do a quick review, write one sticky note for next week, and take one deep breath. Even that small pause makes a big difference.
As promised — 1 minute that can save you hours
