Calling functions in #PowerShell is relatively expensive, so when you are logging debug messages you figure out once if you need to write the message (e.b. $ShouldWriteDebugLog = #$TRUE) and wrap all calls to your logging function in an if (which is cheap). But then how do you ensure you wrapped all?

I have one that works for me:
1. Have an end time for work
2. Dedicate the last 30mins to tying up loose ends. Do Not Start new work!
3. Review my calendar meetings for the next morning (due to timezones my mornings are rarely the same)
4. Say goodbye to people on slack.

I just found a #powershell thing that surprised me. `-in` is not an array filter.
Normally operators return bool when only one item is on the left side, but array of matching items when array is provided on the left side.
so 1..10 -gt 3 returns all numbers that are greater than 3.
