Sleep

1 practice
  • The mental unload

    Writing for five minutes about what is still pending gets you to sleep sooner than writing up what you already did, measured with polysomnography.

    When:
    Right before you brush your teeth for bed.
    What counts:
    Three lines is enough.

    Since Sep 5, 2026

Nutrition

2 practices
  • Real food, not ultra-processed

    The degree of processing — not only the nutrients — is what is associated with cardiovascular risk and with population weight gain.

    When:
    When you take a package off the shelf, before it goes in the cart.
    What counts:
    The whole practice is already the minimum.

  • A real, local dinner at sunset

    Two anchors make the repetition count: eating as the sun goes down, and serving the triad with one more plant. You eyeball it — no scales, no calorie counting.

    When:
    When you start making dinner.
    What counts:
    Half a plate of vegetables and the hour. The rest helps.

Movement

1 practice
  • The short trip, under your own power

    Spontaneous energy expenditure — the kind that is neither exercise nor sport — explains why motorising short trips weighs far more than it looks.

    When:
    When you reach for the car keys for an errand nearby.
    What counts:
    The whole practice is already the minimum.

    Since Sep 8, 2026

Mind/Spirit

1 practice
  • Giving someone real presence

    Loneliness and social isolation stand alongside the mortality risk factors already established.

    When:
    When somebody speaks to you, before you answer.
    What counts:
    One person, five minutes, with the phone out of sight.
