“The Virtual Office Knock‑Off Protocol”
Right team…I’m adding a new ADHD Harmony evening ritual to my mix.
We’ve got the Dominoes.We’ve got the “phone sleeps in another room” rule.We’ve got the “don’t let your brain turn into a midnight circus” plan.
But tonight I realised something important:I’m putting myself to bed… but not my computer.
All day I’m bouncing between clients, tabs, half‑done jobbies, emergency fires, and my trio of virtual office assistants:
  • Pablito (Copilot) — the spreadsheet diplomat
  • Claudette (Claude) — the reflective one
  • Chiquita (ChatGPT) — chaotic good energy
  • And Document Recovery — the true MVP, saving my bacon hourly
By the time I’m ready to sleep, my laptop is sitting there like an over‑eager junior analyst going:
“Okay boss… what’s next?More research?Another proposal?Should I keep all these 47 unnamed, unsaved documents open just in case?”
Meanwhile I’m crawling into bed thinking,“Mate… absolutely not.”
So I’m launching a new ritual:
🖥️ The 15‑Minute Virtual Office Shutdown
A wee end‑of‑day protocol where me and my digital team actually clock off:
  • Close the tabs
  • Save the jobbies
  • Park the ideas
  • Tell the AIs “we’re done for today”
  • Power down the brain and the machine
Because tomorrow‑morning‑me deserves better than waking up to a digital crime scene featuring:
  • “New Document (23)”
  • “Proposal FINAL final FINAL v2”
  • “Untitled‑1” through “Untitled‑17”
  • And a gazillion half‑done things floating around like lost balloons
If anyone wants to join me in this new “put the computer to bed” movement, hop in.We can be the ADHD Night‑Shift Clock‑Off Crew, shutting down with dignity.
