Reflection
The moments between classes are quiet seams in the day. They are not empty; they are opportunities to reset attention, adjust posture, and decide how much of yourself you will offer to the next room. Treat them as transitions rather than spare minutes to fill at random.
Choose a low-effort ritual that fits you. A three-minute walk around the building, a brief breathing pattern, a page of reading, or simply moving to a quieter corner can shift your state. Keep one small prop — a water bottle, a scarf, or a playlist — that signals to your nervous system that these minutes are for you.
Boundaries matter as much as technique. Let classmates and notifications know you use these pockets to refuel: turn off nonessential alerts, use headphones as a polite barrier, and accept that saying no to social invitations for a short recharge is an efficient way to stay present later. The aim is steady stamina, not grand reset rituals.
