1. Clear a specific block of afternoon hours of all appointments and chores. 

2. Avoid making a to-do list or planning out a timeline in advance. 

3. Sit quietly when the time begins and ask yourself what you want to do right now. 

4. Follow that impulse immediately, whether it is reading, walking, or resting. 

5. Shift to a new activity the exact moment your current one stops feeling restorative.
