Love this Laura. I go through phases. Currently my husband is sleeping in another room because of insomnia so I go downstairs, get tea, get back in bed, try and fail not to look at my phone, pull a card and write. Sometimes i have something a lot more elaborate happening.

This is the perfect of example of a little ritual, even if temporary, I love it!

I really love this slow understanding of your own ritual that just felt too simple. I also think we put too much emphasis on it being exciting or quirky, when it doesn't need to be. It just needs to work, and it sounds like yours really does, so we'll done!

I am also in a 9-3pm working pattern. I can get some stuff done outside of this, but in a distracted way. I also have a computer desk and a sewing desk and an analogue/art space, all separate for different kinds of work. It feels like a quiet luxury ✨️

You’re so right about us trying to make our rituals quirky or exciting, I’ve found much more solace in the mundane cycles of life… exciting sometimes means disruptive! 😅
