How you spend your first hour off after a long week shows what you’re actually starving for.

In that hour you have no obligations and no energy to pretend, so you go straight to whatever is missing. If it is sleep, you were short on rest. If it is calling one particular person, you were short on them. If it is being outside, or being alone, or eating something hot, read it the same way.

Watch yourself next Friday without judging the answer. Then take whatever that hour went to and give it a second slot earlier in the week, before you are empty. The point is to stop treating a need as a reward.
