Why it works

Drinking something you actually like, slowly, while doing nothing else, is a micro-ritual that resets your pace. The 'while doing nothing else' part is the whole mechanism.

Best for

•Mid-morning after the first work sprint
•Right before bed
•Any time you're about to scroll on autopilot

Variations

•Make it properly — loose-leaf tea, proper coffee, real hot chocolate. The quality signals 'this is a moment' to your brain.
•Drink it somewhere different from where you usually sit.
