I headed out for a spontaneous walk as the sun dipped low, casting everything in that golden-hour glow. It was a simple thing, but instantly, the shift from work mode to weekend mode felt real. I didn’t rush through my evening or squeeze in one more email—I just soaked in the moment. That, my friends, is how you kick off a weekend with intention.
