One better morning a week.

What’s in the checklist

Five small steps that fit into five minutes, designed for the mornings when everything else goes wrong:

1. Let the light in. Open the curtains or stand at an open door or window for a minute. Outdoors is better than indoors, even when it is cloudy.
2. Drink a full glass of water. Keep a glass by the bed or the kettle so it takes no thought.
3. Move for two minutes. Neck rolls, shoulder circles, ten slow squats, a calf stretch on the stairs. Gentle, not a workout.
4. Breathe slowly for one minute. In through the nose for four, out for six. Longer out-breaths tend to feel calming.
5. Write today’s one priority. One line on paper or a sticky note, before you open email or messages.

What the weekly email looks like

• One idea you can try the next morning, explained in a few paragraphs.
• What the research says, with a link to the source.
• Occasionally, a product we think is genuinely worth it, always disclosed.
