pocket reminders
01
the 3-minute window
Set one three-minute task. Wash a cup. Text a friend. Tiny momentum counts.
02
chair + sunlight
A chair by a window can be medicine. Bonus points for a blanket and a book you'll never finish.
03
label everything
Pill sorter, water bottle, phone charger — one spot so your foggy brain doesn't have to search.
04
permission to rest
Rest is not laziness. It's part of the work your body is doing.
