last thing
What comes ultimately
Last thing means at the very end of a period, especially the day: I'll check my email last thing before bed, Call me last thing tomorrow.
It emphasizes finality—the action happens after everything else is done.
The phrase often pairs with "first thing" to bracket a timeframe: First thing in the morning and last thing at night.
