Before the day fills up, give yourself one small task with no screen attached: make a cup of something warm.
Set out what you need the night before
Leave a mug, a spoon and your favorite tea within reach. Fewer decisions make the ritual easier to keep.
Make a place to sit
Clear a corner of the table or pull a chair toward the window. Take the first few sips there, before opening your inbox.
Keep it small
Five minutes is enough. The point is to have a familiar pause you can return to, even on busy mornings.
