The 5-Minute Commute Reset for Physicians
A Free Guide for Physicians Who Want to Walk Through the Door Ready for Home
Does This Sound Familiar?
You finish a long shift, head home, and walk through the front door…
But your brain is still stuck at the hospital.
You’re replaying the case that didn’t go well.
You’re irritated about that consult.
You’re already running tomorrow’s clinic list in your head.
Â
And instead of showing up calm, present, and ready for your family (or even just yourself), you’re stuck in work mode, feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and disconnected.

Why This Matters
Medicine doesn’t come with an off switch.
If you don’t deliberately reset, the stress of the hospital follows you home. And that costs you:
- Presence with your spouse, kids, or friends
- Energy to enjoy the life you’re working so hard for
- Connection with the people (and activities) that matter most
The problem isn’t you. The problem is your brain hasn’t been told: “Work is over.”
The Solution: The 5-Minute Commute Reset
This free guide gives you a fast, practical way to leave work at work, so you can walk through your front door feeling calmer, lighter, and ready to handle whatever comes next.
Inside, you’ll discover:
How to stop replaying your day before you step inside
