The Automated Routine That Lets Me Leave Work at Work

Description

I left work early recently to volunteer at my daughter's ice cream social and sit through her spring concert without checking my phone once. And if you’re a solopreneur, you know that’s a big deal. It’s all thanks to my startup and shutdown routines. And I know I’ve talked about them on the show before, but something interesting has happened over the last year.As LLMs and AI tools have been able to connect to more services through MCP, I’ve been doing my shutdown routine differently. It’s MUCH more automated now. As a result, I have an even better picture of what I’ve gotten done, and what I need to do…you know, the next time I’m at my desk.I cover:The weekly plan I rely on mostThe daily three-task journal that replaced my startup routineHow I use Whisper Memos, Todoist Ramble, and a Claude Cowork in this processIf you want to find where your own time is leaking, try the Task Audit Matrix at https://streamlined.fm/matrix.
