Plan an Unexpected Free Evening So It Doesn't Vanish Into Your Phone

A plan you had for tonight has just fallen through, and you have an unclaimed evening ahead. Before you default to your phone, name three genuinely appealing options that fit the time and energy you actually have right now, not the ambitious list of things you always mean to do, pick one, and set a single concrete first step, like leaving the sofa or opening the right cupboard, to make starting easy. State the plan in [under 50 words].
