If you have wanted to think more clearly about weekend recovery sleep, this is a low-pressure place to start.
A first thing to love
Make it boring enough to repeat. Exciting habits often outshine the boring ones — then disappear.
When motivation dips, make the step smaller instead of pushing harder. A tinier step is a friendlier step.
A second thing to love
Keep the bar honest. Meeting the bar is a win. Exceeding it is a bonus.
A third thing to love
Spread the practice across the day rather than piling it into one long block. Spreads survive busy weeks.
A shorter version done often beats a longer version done rarely.
- A starter version that takes under ten minutes
- A no-decision version
- An evening version that fits after dinner
- A flexible version for unpredictable weeks
A fourth thing to love
Give it a spot in your day, not just a slot on your calendar.
- A version with music on
- A social version you can do with a friend
- A version for the balcony or porch
A note to remember
Friendly progress is quieter than dramatic progress. You will not always notice it as it happens.
Come back to this whenever you want a gentle reset. There is no scorecard.
