An escape can be a chapter in a book, a quiet morning or an unhurried trip. Choose something that fits the time you have, with an easy place to pause and pick it up again.
Choose a starting point
A little plan, just for today.
Ten minutes available? Choose a short chapter or a story you can finish in one sitting.
Not enjoying your book? Try another format or borrow something different from the library.
Want something calm for the morning? Try a 15-minute routine from the notebook.
Start a reading habit with ten minutes a day: choose a book you want to read, set up a comfortable spot, borrow free ebooks and audiobooks with a library card, and know when to stop.
Build a calmer morning in about 15 minutes: keep a steady wake-up time, prepare the night before, and start with one small thing you enjoy before checking your phone.
Plan a slower, more relaxed trip: one main activity a day, a base close to what matters to you, accessibility checks before booking, and money-saving passes for travelers 62 and over.
