How to Run a Daily Ritual Reset in ClickUp

A daily Ritual Reset in ClickUp is a simple routine that helps you clear distractions, review your work, and plan a focused day in just a few minutes. This guide walks you step by step through setting up and using the Ritual Reset so you can end each day feeling organized and ready for tomorrow.

The method below is adapted from the Ritual Reset framework described by ClickUp, translated into a practical, repeatable workflow you can use every day.

What Is the Ritual Reset in ClickUp?

The Ritual Reset is a short, intentional process you perform at the end of your workday. In ClickUp, it becomes a structured checklist that guides you to:

• Clear your digital and mental clutter
• Review what happened today
• Capture anything still on your mind
• Plan your next workday with intention

Running a Ritual Reset in ClickUp ensures your work and priorities live in one trusted system instead of scattered notes and open tabs.

Step 1: Create a Ritual Reset Task in ClickUp

Begin by creating a reusable task that will hold your checklist and routine.

1. Open your preferred Space or List in ClickUp.

2. Create a new task titled Ritual Reset (or Daily Ritual Reset).

3. Add a due time for the end of your workday so it appears consistently in your Today view.

4. Turn this task into a template so you can quickly reuse it every day or every week.

This single Ritual Reset task in ClickUp becomes your anchor for closing out each day.

Step 2: Add a Clear Checklist Inside ClickUp

Next, build a simple checklist inside the Ritual Reset task so you never have to think about what comes next.

In ClickUp, open the Ritual Reset task and create a checklist with sections like:

• Clear
  • Close unnecessary browser tabs
  • Quit or silence distracting apps
  • Clear downloads or desktop clutter
• Review
  • Scan today’s completed tasks in ClickUp
  • Review any overdue tasks
  • Confirm what actually got done versus what was planned
• Capture
  • Brain-dump loose ideas into ClickUp tasks or docs
  • Turn sticky notes and messages into clear action items
• Plan
  • Choose your 1–3 top priorities for tomorrow
  • Assign due dates and times
  • Place them clearly in your ClickUp views (Today, Next, or a custom view)

Keep each checklist item short and actionable so the Ritual Reset in ClickUp feels light and fast.

Step 3: Use ClickUp Views to Support the Reset

Different views in ClickUp make the Ritual Reset smoother and more visual.

Use the Home or Today View in ClickUp

At the start of your reset, open the Home or Today view in ClickUp to see what is on your plate.

• Confirm what you completed today
• Spot any tasks that slipped or stayed in progress
• Drag and drop tasks to tomorrow or later in the week

Leverage List or Board Views in ClickUp

During your Review step, switch to a List or Board view in ClickUp:

• Group tasks by status to see work in stages
• Filter by assignee (you) and due date (today and overdue)
• Quickly update statuses so your workspace reflects reality

These ClickUp views help you turn a vague sense of busyness into a clear picture of progress.

Step 4: Set Up Recurring Ritual Reset in ClickUp

To make the Ritual Reset automatic, schedule it as a recurring task.

1. Open your Ritual Reset task in ClickUp.

2. Set it to recur every weekday at the end of your workday.

3. Choose to create a new task for each day so you keep a history of completed resets.

4. Optionally, add a reminder or notification so you do not skip it when the day gets busy.

Now ClickUp will reliably prompt you to close your day with intention instead of just logging off.

Step 5: Run Your Daily Ritual Reset in ClickUp

Once your task and checklist are ready, follow this flow each day.

1. Clear Your Space

Use the Clear section of your checklist to:

• Close extra tabs and windows
• Quit chat tools that are done for the day
• Clean up files, screenshots, or downloads created today

Doing this inside the Ritual Reset task in ClickUp ensures you do not forget small but important cleanup steps.

2. Review Today in ClickUp

Next, look back on your day using ClickUp:

• Open your Today view and confirm which tasks are truly done
• Mark any missed tasks as rescheduled or deprioritized
• Note patterns: what took longer, what you underestimated, what derailed you

This reflection helps you use ClickUp as a learning tool, not just a storage system.

3. Capture Loose Ends in ClickUp

With your day in mind, capture everything still swirling in your head:

• Create quick tasks in ClickUp for follow-ups, ideas, and small actions
• Use subtasks for multi-step follow-ups so nothing slips
• Drop longer thoughts or notes into a dedicated Ritual Reset doc

Now your ClickUp workspace becomes the single source of truth instead of scattered notes.

4. Plan Tomorrow in ClickUp

Finally, intentionally prepare tomorrow’s plan:

• Pick the 1–3 Most Important Tasks for tomorrow
• Set due dates and, if helpful, times for each task in ClickUp
• Place them at the top of your Today or custom priority view for tomorrow

End the Ritual Reset in ClickUp by scanning tomorrow’s list and confirming it feels realistic and focused.

Step 6: Reflect and Refine Your ClickUp Ritual

Over time, adjust your ClickUp Ritual Reset so it fits your work style.

• Remove checklist items you never use
• Add prompts that help you reflect on energy, not just tasks
• Create a weekly version of the Ritual Reset in ClickUp to zoom out and review the entire week

You can also explore resources from productivity specialists and implementation partners such as Consultevo to refine how you design workflows in ClickUp for teams.

Make ClickUp Your End-of-Day Control Center

When you turn the Ritual Reset into a consistent habit, ClickUp becomes the place where each day ends with clarity and each new day starts already planned. Use the steps above to set up your recurring task, build your checklist, and walk through Clear, Review, Capture, and Plan at the same time every afternoon.

Within a week or two, the Ritual Reset in ClickUp will feel natural, and you will close your laptop each day knowing your work and priorities are fully under control.
