7 Good Minutes: Extra - The Unscored Ten: A Ten-Minute Rest Experiment

Ten minutes alone won't fix a week with no real rest in it — but if rest hasn't felt like rest even when you do have the time, what you do with those minutes matters as much as how many you get.

This episode walks through the Unscored Ten: a specific ten-minute window, chosen in advance, where nothing gets measured, tracked, or reviewed afterward. You'll get the five simple steps, from picking the activity to resisting the urge to grade it once it's over.

This is an experiment in the habit of evaluating your own downtime, not a fix for a schedule with no real rest built into it at all — that calls for a bigger change, not a small exercise.
