The Gentle Restart
A light week for coming back after illness, travel, or burnout. Fewer blocks, more air.
Overview
Give your important work a place to happen.
Later mornings. Shorter work windows. Extra sleep. The point is to return without pretending you have a full week in you yet.
Keep the shape. Change the times, drop what does not fit, and save the day you actually want.
How it works
Built for real life.
- 1
Pick a day to try on
Choose a rhythm that matches the kind of day or week you need next — not a label for who you are.
- 2
Borrow the shape
Start with the protected blocks already named. You are taking a starting point, not a finished life.
- 3
Move the pieces
Shift times, drop what does not fit, and keep what does until the week feels like yours.
Every block, in its place.
