The Five-Minute Evening Reset

Begin where the day gathered: the entry, the sofa, the kitchen counter. A reset is not a performance; it is a small return to baseline.

Choose one surface, one basket, and one closing gesture. The goal is not a perfect home, but a home that welcomes you back in the morning.

Then light a single candle and let it mark the end of the day. Sit with it for a while before bed, and put it out before you leave the room.
