Somewhere along the way, weekends filled up. Errands, catch-ups and a quietly growing to-do list now crowd days that were meant for rest.

Make breakfast an occasion rather than a pit stop: good bread, fruit, eggs, a second pot of coffee and a book or the paper. Eat at the table, not over the sink, and don't look at the clock.
Head out with no particular destination: a park, a river path, a neighborhood you never walk through. Leave your headphones at home for at least part of it. You will come back with a clearer head, and probably an appetite.
