7 Good Minutes ·

2026/10/06

You rested last night, or all weekend, or even took a full day off — and you still feel just as drained as before.This episode explains why: rest isn't one thing, and the kind of tired that survives a full night's sleep usually comes from a specific cause — too many decisions, too much noise, or too much performing for other people — that generic rest doesn't touch.You'll hear why workplaces rarely make room for real breaks, why a short break you actually choose may work better than a longer one you

2026/10/05

The next time someone's reaction turns cold after something you said or did, there's a short check you can run before you react.This episode walks through two quick questions: whether you actually acted honestly and reasonably, and whether there's something specific and real that's actually yours to fix. If there is, you handle that one thing and stop. If there isn't, you let your part be finished — without chasing reassurance or repeating explanations nobody asked for.It's a two-minute practice you

You said no, gave an honest answer, or made a normal decision about your own life — and the other person's mood changed. Their tone cooled, they went quiet, or they walked away clearly unhappy, even though you didn't actually do anything wrong.Today's episode is about the reflex that kicks in right after: assuming their reaction proves you made a mistake, and rushing to fix a feeling that was never fully yours to manage. We look at why this pull is so ordinary, why over-explaining and repeated

If your mind won't stop running through tomorrow's to-do list the moment you lie down, today's Extra gives you one specific way to close that loop before you ever get under the covers.It takes about two minutes.

2026/10/04

You finally get into bed after a full day, and that's exactly when your mind decides to run through everything you didn't finish today and everything that could go wrong tomorrow.

Work has a way of following you into the evening when it's unfinished — and the fix isn't trying harder to relax, it's giving the unfinished part somewhere to wait.This is the two-minute practice for doing exactly that: picking the one or two things most likely to follow you home, writing down where you stopped and the very next step with a time attached, then doing one small thing that marks the switch from work to home.It won't quiet everything, but it's usually enough to walk through the door
