Start smaller than you think
Most routines fail because they are designed for an ideal version of you, not Tuesday morning you.
The 20-minute stack
Minutes 0–5: Hydrate and daylight — a full glass of water and two minutes by a window.
Minutes 5–15: Light movement — mobility or a brisk walk, not a full gym session.
Minutes 15–20: Intention setting — three priorities, not a twenty-item list.
Why it works
Consistency beats intensity. Twenty minutes is short enough to repeat and long enough to shift mood.
Track what matters
Note energy at noon for two weeks. Adjust one variable at a time.
