Rest
A 10-minute wind-down for busy evenings
Dim, sip, jot, stretch. A short bridge between the day and the night.
Busy days tend to spill straight into the night: emails at 10 pm, a podcast in bed, a mind still running. A short, repeatable wind-down can act as a bridge.
Ours has four steps and takes about ten minutes. Dim the lights, make a caffeine-free warm drink, jot down tomorrow's top three tasks so they're out of your head, and do a couple of gentle stretches.
The exact steps matter less than repeating them. After a week or two, the routine itself becomes a signal that the day is done.
Try the ritual
- Dim the main lights and switch to a lamp.
- Make a warm, caffeine-free drink.
- Write tomorrow's top three tasks on paper.
- Do two minutes of gentle stretching.
