  • 5-minute meditation or breathing exercise

  • Drink a full glass of water

  • Light stretching or 10-minute walk

  • Review daily goals or to-do list

Daytime Focus:

  • Pomodoro work sessions (e.g., 4×25 minutes with breaks)

  • Practice a skill (language, instrument, typing)

  • Take short walks or movement breaks every 90 minutes

  • Eat 2–3 balanced meals

Evening Routine:

  • Reflect on the day / Journal (3 things you’re grateful for)

  • Plan tomorrow’s top 3 tasks

  • Read 10–20 pages of a book
