This industry is small and I want to leave a good last impression.
I usually switch from 'work' to 'dumping everything in my head that I haven't already documented in to a doc'. I've never really been sure if anyone ever reads the doc. I guess that means I stop working. EDIT: You're on day 4 with 6 more to go, so that means you're giving 10 days notice? My current contract says I need to give 3 months. Most roles prior to that have been 4 weeks. What sort of job has such a short not…
As much as I need to wrap up current work, write docs, hand over stuff etc. > It's only like day 4 and there's six more You're in the land of 2-week notice periods. The most recent company I joined has a 3-month notice period (it's in my contract) which is kind of ridiculous. I'll probably try to get it waived down to 1 month when it comes to it.

I focussed as much as I could on handing stuff over, going into "question and answer" mode, and generally refused to go into meetings for new projects, excluding myself from discussions on the basis that it was better for everyone if I did not.
I did some genuinely new work in one case to help a colleague I liked get started.

That's ridiculous.
What if you gave 3 months, and then 1 month in said, "Nah, F this, I'm out" and just bailed?

Where are you located? Just because it’s in your contract doesn’t mean it’s legal or enforceable.
