Phase 1: The Reset

Stop carrying the office into your living room.

You walk through the door, but you aren't really "Home." Your brain is still grinding on a Jira ticket while your kids are trying to share their day. You’re a ghost in your own kitchen.

Let's shut it off tonight.

The "Work Residue" Problem

As a technical leader, your brain doesn't have an "Off" switch. It only has "Open Loops."

When you walk in the door with three unfinished emails and a pending project update in your head, the "Work Residue" poisons your presence. You snap at your kids for being loud because you're trying to process a "loud" project in your head.

Your family doesn't want the VP. They want the Dad.

The **7-Day Work Brain Reset** is a sequence of simple protocols designed to help you wash off the residue and actually show up at the dinner table.
