Let’s call it a day

Call it a day – To end the work day, or stop working on a particular project temporarily, with the plan to resume it another day.[spacer height=”20px”]

This is a common phrase people use after working hard for a long time at something, often at their job or for some other personal project.[spacer height=”20px”]

  • When you feel that you are ready to stop for the day, you can say, “I’m going to call it a day.” This lets people know that you are finishing your work for the day and leaving (if it is at your job or some other project location)[spacer height=”20px”]
  • If you are working with one or more other people and you want to suggest that everyone stop working, you can say, “Let’s call it a day.”  or “Shall we call it a day?”[spacer height=”20px”]
Call it a night – This is a related phrase, but it is used for social situations:
  • during an evening out with friends when it is getting late, and the person is ready to go home. [spacer height=”20px”]
    • “It’s late; I think I’m going to call it a night.”
    • “I’m ready to call it a night.”
    • “Let’s call it a night.”
    • “Shall we call it a night?”[spacer height=”20px”]
  • at night in the home to announce that the person is planning to go to bed.[spacer height=”20px”]
    • “I’m going to call it a night. See you in the morning.”
As for me, I have been sitting at the computer for many hours working on several projects, so I think I am going to call it a day!  🙂
