Wrike-Up Wednesday: The "End-of-the-Day Clean Sweep" 🧹✨

Rohan V

TL;DR: For this Wrike-Up Wednesday, share the one thing you MUST do before logging off to give yourself a fresh start tomorrow!

Hello Community! 👋

It’s time for another Wrike-Up Wednesday! 🥳

We all know the feeling of ending a long, busy workday. But before you slam your laptop shut or step away from your desk, how do you handle your final "end-of-day clean sweep"?

What’s your essential end-of-day clean sweep habit?

Do you wipe your inbox to zero, close all 40 open browser tabs, clear out finished task cards, or write a fresh to-do list on a sticky note for the morning?

Here’s mine: Completing my daily to-do list, moving any leftover tasks straight to tomorrow’s list, closing out unwanted tabs 🧹, and taking a quick peek at tomorrow's meeting calendar. Clearing the clutter helps me completely switch off my work brain for the evening! 📝✨

What’s your sign-off routine? Share your clean sweep ritual in the comments below! ⬇️

Mine is going through all my task lists to make sure I got all the high priority items done before signing off. So I click through Wrike, Outlook, and Teams. Although, our organization is now implementing Claude Enterprise so this is becoming an automated Claude email daily for me soon.

Anna Giacobbe

Closing off Teams messages and Outlook emails… and clearing out the many coffee cups from my workspace!

Stella Lowe

Review same day's calendar and move any uncompleted tasks to next day, ensure Outlook inbox is cleaned to fewer than 10 (first time in career to keep such a trimmed inbox). Scan Wrike tasks for any missed and add to next morning to-do list. Because we work globally, keep an eye on phone through the evening to see if any fires arise. Tabs stay open till Friday EOD.

Paula Barrientos

I do a final check on my mail inbox so I don't have anything pending to read. I try to color label them to group them by brand, and put a star on those that are more important ⭐️.

John_Egleston

I make sure my work profile browser tabs are updated to track with anything needing attention tomorrow or beyond. And rinse

Cheyenne Randall

I like to review my calendar so I know what to expect when I log in the next morning.

Kendra Ciszczon

I have to take a look at my first meeting of the next day and make sure I have anything I am brining to the conversation pulled up in a window ready to share.

Sherrie Besecker

Gonna be honest - some days I have that - just click shutdown and leave it for tomorrow kinda days!!!!

but on average day, just make sure I have no firedrills left unmanaged, and adjust schedules meetings for the next day!

Devree Czupinski

I usually do the following

Check for any unreviewed request submissions - anything easy/quick to assign, I assign or ask follow up questions, anything else is left for the next day.
Review email, Wrike inbox, and slack notifications
Review my day tomorrow for upcoming meetings
Shut my computer down!

Sean M

I go through all of my pending requests, update custom fields for priority levels, then either add @mentions or updates within the requests. Lastly, I update my calendar to match Wrike requests according to what I need to get done depending on deadlines and priorities so I'm ready to hit the ground running the next day.

David Simmington

Inbox zero in Wrike and none of my tasks in the overdue bucket!

Kaden Holloway

I say goodbye to all of my co-workers, log off on team and lay on the ground for some much needed floor time!

Kelly-Anne Slatton

Going back over my weekly and daily to do lists for cleanup/notes, and checking over my meeting schedule for the next day!

Nikos Taskos

always acknowledge coworker or client requests, providing a reply or an estimation (of when I'll reply)
always (re)check the daily to-dos and ensure no task is left behind
always schedule the day after

Sarah Wagner

I make sure any to-do items + thoughts still floating around in my head are captured somewhere, check my calendar and rearrange things based on how scary tomorrow's to-do list is, then close the several windows with hundreds of tabs I've accumulated throughout the day.

Janelle Tyler

My end-of-day clean sweep is making sure nothing important is still sitting in my head! 😂 I check Wrike for anything that needs an update or follow-up, review Slack and email for anything I may have missed, and look at my calendar for the next day. If something isn’t getting finished that day, I make sure it has a clear next step so I know exactly where to pick it back up tomorrow.

And then I close the laptop and try very hard not to think about all the projects until morning. 😂

Michelle Hammond

About two minutes from EoD, I send a message to the team via Teams wishing them a good evening. I check Wrike, Teams, and Outlook to make sure everything has been addressed (or at least that it can wait until morning). I add tomorrow's meetings and announcements into the next day's morning meeting task in Wrike. I shut down!

Naleen Kumar

Read all the notification and Mark it read

Amy Hunter

Check my Wrike Dashboard for anything upcoming tomorrow or move anything not done today to tomorrow. Flag any emails I did not deal with today. Clear desk of mugs and rubbish - so much better to come in to a clean desk in the morning! Say bye to colleagues and shut down.

Daisy Hibbard

I double-check my calendar tomorrow for any new meetings and then check Slack one last time for any high-priority messages.

Emily Bressler

Cleaning out my inbox! I love getting everything out of my inbox so I can start the next day fresh

Caitlin Beaty

My end-of-day ritual is all about setting myself up for the next morning. I file Outlook emails that don’t need action and flag anything that does. In Wrike, I archive read notifications and mark anything I still need to address as unread. I also clean up Slack and close out conversations that don’t have action items for the next day.

Then, before I leave, I make sure my desk is clean and organized. It’s a simple routine, but I love starting each day with a clean slate!

Tom Halbert

I have to get better at it - but I would say shutting down the computer rather than closing the lid. Ensuring everything has been finished with for the day and the ability to do the computer updates. Can be nice starting off with fresh computer rather than 200 browser tabs and other programs open

Florian Gascho

For me its washing out my coffee cup, preparing reminders and blockers for the upcomming day.

Importantly check onto my sent @s in Wrike to see, if I received an update yet.

Gabriel Stangl-Riehle

I make sure I have no unread emails or @s in Wrike before I sign off for the day.

Kat Riddler

Make sure all emails and teams chats are answered. I check wrike for any to-dos for the day. Leave a to-do note for the next day of anything that didn't or couldn't get done.

Ellie_krigbaum

Clearing out my daily to do list, moving anything to tomorrow that can wait or needs further follow up. The goal is to close out of all my tabs but that never happens :)

Ryan Holmquist

I always try to look at the rest of the week in my calendar, check my time sheet that everything got entered, then tidy up my desk so it's somewhat organized and then

Therese Forsyth

I look at my calendar and Wrike to make sure all of my upcoming meetings are in Wrike and ready to go, especially my earliest meetings.

Kirsten Gross

I make sure that all notifications cleared so I can leave my workstation with nothing bugging me during my personal time. Anything that needs to be followed up for the next day, I note it down for future me.
