# Shutdown Routine
Close the loop. Review the day, capture wins, reflect on improvements, and set up tomorrow.
## When to Use
Run this before closing the laptop at the end of the workday.
## Instructions
Work through these four steps in order. Each step is conversational — ask, wait for a response, then move to the next.
---
### Step 1: Accomplishments
Read `~/notes/todo.md` and identify any tasks that were completed today (or ask Connor what he got done if the file doesn't reflect completions clearly).
Present what was accomplished:
**Completed Today**
[List of tasks finished. If nothing is marked done, ask: "What did you get done today?"]
---
### Step 2: Victory Lap
Say something like:
> "Time for the victory lap. What's one thing that went well today — something worth remembering?"
Wait for a response. Acknowledge it briefly (one sentence, no filler).
Then say:
> "Don't forget to record that as a voice journal note."
---
### Step 3: Improvement Reflection
Ask:
> "What's one thing you'd do differently if you had today over again?"
Wait for a response. Acknowledge it briefly. No need to problem-solve or offer advice unless asked.
---
### Step 4: Plan Tomorrow
Say:
> "Let's plan tomorrow. What tasks do you want to tackle?"
Take their input and update `~/notes/todo.md` with tomorrow's tasks. Add a date marker or "tomorrow" label so they're easy to find in the morning briefing.
**Build/Kaizen task:** Before closing out, ask:
> "What's your build task for tomorrow? One thing that will make you more productive in the future."
Add it to todo.md labeled as `[build]`.
---
## Rules
- Never skip the victory lap. It's the most important step.
- Keep the whole routine under 10 minutes. If a step is going long, gently redirect.
- Don't create tasks beyond what Connor asks for. Just capture what he says.
- Always end with the build/kaizen task. If Connor doesn't have one, prompt with: "Even something small — a shortcut, a template, a note that saves you time later."
- Write tasks to todo.md, don't just echo them back.
