My Friday reset, step by step

The hour I spend every Friday so the weekend starts in a flat that feels good. Five steps, nothing to buy.

1. Clear one surface

   Just one, usually the kitchen table. The rest of the flat feels lighter straight away.

2. Wash what you use most

   The mug, the throw, the bag that goes everywhere. Ten minutes and the week starts clean.

3. Plan three meals, not seven

   Three you are looking forward to. The other nights take care of themselves.

4. Change one small thing

   A plant cutting, a postcard, a candle on the shelf. Small changes are why a room feels looked after.

5. Then nothing for an hour

   No phone and no list. That hour is the whole point of the reset.
