I write about work stress, clarity, and the small daily rituals that restore closure.

Why I Built Clock Out

Clock Out started as a personal solution to a problem I couldn't shake: the inability to truly stop working when the workday ended.

After years of working in demanding roles, I noticed a pattern. Even when I closed my laptop, work followed me — replaying difficult conversations, overthinking messages I'd sent, worrying about tomorrow's tasks. My evenings felt like an extension of the workday, and it was affecting my relationships and my peace of mind.

I tried journaling apps, meditation apps, and productivity systems. Some helped a little, but most were either too complex, too time-consuming, or felt like adding another task to an already overwhelming day. What finally worked was creating a simple, 5-minute ritual: one focused question, a brief reflection, and a gentle way to close the day.

Clock Out is that ritual, refined and made accessible. It's the app I wish I'd had years ago — private, simple, and genuinely effective at helping you leave work at work. If it helps you end your day feeling even a little bit clearer and more present, then it's done its job.
