  1. Review: Spend 10 minutes reviewing your day. What went well? What challenges did you face? Look at both performance and effort objectively.

  2. Refine: Identify areas for improvement. What specific actions can you take to enhance tomorrow’s performance? Make a clear, actionable plan.

  3. Recharge: Conclude with positive affirmations or points of gratitude. Acknowledge progress, celebrate small wins, and appreciate moments of joy or learning. Consistency in this routine can help you distill lessons learned and set the stage for ongoing improvement.
