sound familiar?

pov: it's 11:47 pm and you're still "just finishing one thing"

  • you sleep, but you never wake up rested
  • tiny tasks feel like climbing a mountain
  • you're numb, foggy, or snappy with people you love
  • resting makes you feel guilty instead of better

so close the laptop, and open something softer. the soft reset doesn't ask you to do more. it helps you do less, kindly, until you feel like yourself again.

four soft phases · one gentle month

the path back

days 1-7

rest

lower the bar, protect your sleep, and let rest be allowed without earning it first.

days 8-14

notice

gently map what drains you: the load you carry, the inner critic, your earliest warning signs.

rebuild

tiny daily anchors, boundary scripts you can actually say, and small sparks of joy.

return

redefine a good day, ask for what you need, and leave with a rhythm + a reset plan.

A daily page: today's question, journal space and today's practice
every day

one question,
one small practice

  • a journal prompt that gets underneath the tiredness, not another to-do
  • a 2 to 30 minute practice, linked straight to the tool it needs
  • a gentle check-in for energy, mood and your bare minimum
  • no streaks, no catching up. missed a day? just keep going.
try day 1, right now

breathe with puff

two breaths in through the nose, one long, slow breath out. five rounds. it's one of the quickest ways to tell your body it's safe.

today's question

if my exhaustion could talk, what would it say it needs from me?

what's inside

everything you need,
nothing you don't

a note from mimi
"i used to think rest was something you earned after everything was done. it never was done. this is the workbook i wish i'd had: ten minutes, a warm drink, and a little honesty. slow is still moving."

questions

good to know

what do i actually get?

A 66-page PDF you download straight after checkout. Every tab, button and arrow is a link, so you can jump between days, tools and sections with one tap.

which apps does it work with?

Any PDF annotation app: GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Samsung Notes, and more. It's landscape and sized for tablets, but it works on a laptop too, and prints nicely on A4 or US Letter (links just won't click on paper).

i'm really burnt out. is ten minutes a day realistic?

That's exactly who it's for. Some days you'll do the question and the practice. Some days you'll only read them. Both count. There are no streaks and nothing to catch up on.

is this therapy?

No. It's a gentle self-care and reflection tool, not medical advice or a diagnosis. If you're struggling to function or feel hopeless, please talk to a doctor or therapist. The workbook works well alongside professional support.

can i use it again later?

Yes. Duplicate the file in your app and start fresh any time you notice your warning signs. That's what the reset plan at the end is for.

what if it isn't right for me?

Message us within 14 days and we'll make it right. We'd rather you feel looked after than stuck with something that doesn't help.
