End Your Day Better: Simple Routines to Beat the 5PM Burnout
from Splash of Ash · host Ashley Edwards
Ever have a really good day and then 5PM hits and everything starts to unravel? I’m talking about the “5PM spiral” and why evenings can feel so overwhelming, even when nothing actually went wrong.I break down what’s really happening, like decision fatigue, physical depletion, and nervous system overload, and why it has nothing to do with you failing.I’m also sharing simple, realistic ways I support myself through it, including creating a “closing shift,” lowering expectations, choosing one anchor task, and emotionally clocking out of the day.The goal isn’t perfect nights. It’s feeling more in control, more grounded, and ending your day knowing you did enough.Website: https://www.splashofash.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/a_splashofash/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/asplashofashhEmail: [email protected]
