The Closing Ceremony: Three questions that end a day cleanly

June Alderwood

Most nights end the same way: you simply stop, mid-thought, and carry the day's loose ends to bed with you. This offers a small, repeatable close instead. Three questions, asked in order, that gather what mattered, set aside what did not, and mark the day as finished. No journaling required, no lengthy review. Just a short ceremony of completion that trains your mind to release the day and let sleep arrive on its own terms.
