The back porch, the stairs, the curb outside, everyone needs one spot where they can just sit. Find yours.

Having a place to sit is not the same as having free time. A spot that is yours, with no task attached, gives the day somewhere to settle; without one you take everything indoors and into your phone. It does not have to be comfortable or private or nice, only somewhere you are allowed to do nothing.

Pick yours this week and go there twice. The back step, the curb, the end of the bleachers, a bench on the way home. Ten minutes is plenty, and bringing nothing beats bringing something. The habit matters more than the view.
