A small plan for right now

One of each, matched to the weather and the mood — enough to decide the evening without overthinking it.

Watch

Knives Out (2019, 130 min)
A clever, propulsive whodunit that pulls you out of your own head.

Planet Earth II (one episode) (2016, 50 min)
Stunning, low-stakes wonder; great when energy is low.

Eat

Dal (red lentil curry) (30 min)
Soften onion, garlic and ginger; add spices for 30 sec.

Savoury congee (rice porridge) (30 min)
Simmer rice, stock and ginger ~25–30 min until soft and soupy, stirring now and then.

Listen

Yo-Yo Ma — Bach: Cello Suite No.1 Prelude
Grounding and elegant; good to focus or unwind to.

Hania Rani — Esja
Gentle piano that lowers your shoulders.

Bon Iver — Holocene
Spacious and quietly hopeful; good for grey light.

Do

Declutter one drawer
One drawer, not the whole room. Empty it, keep what earns its place, done.

Phone a person you like
Not a text—an actual short call to someone you've been meaning to talk to.

Build a blanket nest and read
Gather every cushion and blanket, make one good spot, and read a chapter of something undemanding.
