Starting the day with phone notifications and news spikes cortisol levels. An alternative: five minutes with your plants before coffee. Here's why it works.
5 benefits:
5-minute morning protocol: Check app (30 sec) → visual inspection through door (1 min) → soil check and watering if needed (1–2 min) → remove dead leaves (1 min) → done. Total: 4–5 minutes. Return on investment: fresh produce, calm, awareness.
