Morning Light

The alarm rings softly at 6:30 AM. No snooze—just a deep breath and the rustle of sheets as the day begins. A cup of warm water with lemon, sunlight filtering through the kitchen window, and the quiet hum of the neighborhood waking up.

Work and Focus

By 8:00 AM, the desk is ready: notebook open, laptop humming, coffee steaming beside a small potted plant. Hours pass in focused bursts—emails, writing, calls—interspersed with short walks and stretches to keep the mind clear.

Lunch and Pause

At noon, a simple meal: rice, roasted vegetables, and a slice of sourdough bread. Eaten slowly, without screens. Sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend. Always with gratitude.

Afternoon Drift

The afternoon brings a lull—a good time for errands, reading, or sketching in a journal. Clouds move across the sky. The light shifts. Time feels less urgent.

Evening Stillness

Dinner is light. The dishes are washed by hand. A book replaces the phone. Candles flicker. By 10:00 PM, the lights dim, and the day folds gently into night.
