Legs up the wall, lights low
Still bright but past its fullest, the Moon is on the wane, and Wednesday has a slightly worn edge to it: lots of talk, not much rest. You can do the day at half volume and still do it well.
Love
A parent may want to talk through a big idea: selling the house, moving nearer to you, a flat with no stairs. Listen to all of it, and ask what they are most afraid of losing. You need not have an answer today; being the one they think aloud with is help enough for now.
Work and money
If a colleague is having a bad day, red-eyed by the kettle or unusually quiet at their desk, offer a cup of tea and a few minutes somewhere private. Then go back to your own list. Kindness does not require you to carry their afternoon as well as your own.
Body and mind
A quarter of an hour on the floor tonight, legs up the wall, lights low, one slow song on repeat. It looks faintly ridiculous and works anyway. A day of other people’s words drains you more than a day of work, and lying still in the half-dark lets it run out.
Do the day at half volume; it still counts
