A five-minute version of meal spacing

A five-minute version of meal spacing

Most of us already know more about meal spacing than we give ourselves credit for. This piece is a relaxed reminder of the basics.

Minute one

If something stops working, it does not mean you failed. It means the next version is around the corner.

  • A short morning version you can do in five minutes
  • A version with pets nearby
  • A version you can pair with morning coffee

Minute two

Some days everything goes as planned. Most days, something gets in the way. Both are normal.

Minute three

Give it a spot in your day, not just a slot on your calendar.

Minute four

Make it boring enough to repeat. Exciting habits often outshine the boring ones — then disappear.

  • A social version you can do with a friend
  • A version with kids nearby
  • A no-equipment version

Minute five

Friendly progress is quieter than dramatic progress. You will not always notice it as it happens.

Above all, keep it kind. The friendly version of any habit tends to last the longest.
