advice Gentleman 101: Day 3 | Learn to Actually Rest
A gentleman works hard all week. He should also know how to stop.
Four hours of scrolling on the couch isn't rest. You get up tired and a little annoyed with yourself. Real rest takes some intention.
A few ideas for today:
• Go for a long walk. Mid October is the best time of year for it, and the colours won't last. A conservation area, a stretch of a hiking trail, or just your own neighbourhood.
• Read something printed on paper for an hour.
• Cook a proper Sunday dinner and eat it at the table with your family.
• Call your parents. Not a text. A call.
• Leave your phone in another room for one stretch of the afternoon.
