A slow Sunday morning isn’t laziness. It’s the week’s only commercial-free episode.

Rest gets confused with waste because it produces nothing you can point at. But a morning with no start time is the only stretch in a week where nothing is interrupting, nothing is scheduled and nobody needs a reply. Your head does a different kind of work in that gap, and the work only happens when there is nothing pulling on it.

Defend one of those mornings this week rather than letting it get filled. No alarm, no plans before noon, phone left somewhere else for a while. If guilt arrives, notice it is not attached to anything. Nothing needed doing and nobody is waiting.
