The Unspoken Epidemic of the “Always-On” Mind and the Simple Ritual That Can Fix It.
You’ve left the office. You’ve closed the laptop. But your mind is still racing, tangled in a web of to-do lists and unanswered emails. Sound familiar?
You’re not alone. We’re living in an era of the “always-on” mind. The cost is our peace.
But what if the most powerful productivity hack isn’t about doing more? What if it’s about stopping better? It’s time to reclaim the most critical transition of your day. We call it The 5 PM Reset.
What Exactly Are You Resetting?
This is about a mental shift. It’s the conscious act of creating a boundary that tells your brain, “The workday is over. It’s time to return to me.” It’s the difference between being physically home and mentally being there.
The Anatomy of a Perfect Reset
A successful reset has three simple parts:
- A concrete action that marks the end of work. Closing your laptop, turning off work notifications, or sitting in your car for five minutes of silence.
- The 10-15 minute ritual that allows your mind to catch up with your body. This is the core of the reset.
- A simple, enjoyable action that grounds you in the present moment and signifies the start of your personal time.
So, what makes for the perfect buffer? It should be simple, enjoyable, and intentional.
Your Invitation to Pause
This is where we come in. To aid this essential transition, we’ve created CBD-infused Coca-Cola. It’s the familiar, uplifting taste of Coke, now with CBD, designed to be a companion for that moment of deliberate pause. It’s not about escaping your day. It’s about arriving fully in your evening.
This is how it begins. That first conscious moment of release.

A bottle of Coca-Cola is positioned vertically in the center, acting as the clock’s axis, connecting the two states at the ‘5 o’clock’ position.” prompt.
Your reset can happen anywhere. Find your space, and claim it.

The ritual itself. A moment of calm, deliberately crafted.

“A sound equalizer display is visualized. The left side shows chaotic, jagged peaks in red and orange, labeled ‘NOISE.’ The right side shows a calm, steady, green-hued baseline, labeled ‘HARMONY.’ In the center is the silhouette of a Coca-Cola bottle.” prompt
And sometimes, the best resets are the ones we share.

“The image is split into two color fields. The left side is a monochromatic, grayscale collage of office items. The right side is a burst of vibrant, calming color. A bottle of Coca-Cola sits precisely on the vertical line between the two. A splash of its liquid is shown flowing into the grayscale side, instantly infusing it with color and life.” prompt
The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is intention. Your 5 PM Reset is a promise to yourself that you are worth the pause.
The workday is over. It’s time to clock back in to your life.
