Reflection
Meetings often leave a quiet residue — a low hum of attention and a sense that your inner battery has shifted to a different circuit. Recognising that sensation as normal helps you treat it with intention rather than frustration.
Choose two simple rituals you can do immediately after a meeting: three slow breaths, a glass of water, a brief stretch, a two-minute walk, or a one-line note about your next action. Small repeated moves add up and create a reliable signal that the meeting is over and your private time begins.
Make space for these transitions by building short buffers into your calendar and by setting expectations with colleagues about availability. Over time these rituals become cues that protect your focus and help you move from social energy back into deeper, quieter work.
