Some of my favorite work days start with an activity that puts me in a good mood. Here are some vetted suggestions.

• Walk around your neighborhood while listening to an audiobook
• Exercise with friends in a garage
• Take your significant other out for a coffee and a walk
• Go for a trail hike
• Start a marinade so you can throw it on the grill after work
• Make bubble tea
• Make buttermilk biscuits
• Practice skateboarding
• Go blueberry picking
• Play basketball
• Make donuts
• Visit a new bakery or café
• Play pickleball
• Meet someone for breakfast
• Take a nap
• Weed the garden
