Name the feeling. We’ll build the rest.

1. 1Turn off the big light10mOne lamp on, phone in another room, kettle on.
2. 2Do one slow thing, badly30mOne small task with no standard to meet. Let it take its time.
3. 3Name the heaviest thing10mSay the thing you have been carrying out loud. Don’t solve it.
4. 4Protect the last stretch10mNo screens. Tomorrow’s list written down, then bed.

✦ Calm comes from taking things away, not adding them. Less light and no phone, before anything else.

Every step comes with its reason.
