Week #3, 2025
Week #3 of 2025 has arrived. Wow. And just like that we are 5.76923077 percent through 2025. Does it surprise you how "little" 5 percent of the year is? 2025 is a flash in the pan. Enjoy it! Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? I got an email "thank you" from a reader this week.

Week 41, 2023
A second, a minute, an hour, and a week, are all objectively measurable... but... as we all know, our experience of a second can feel like an hour, likewise, a week can feel like a second. And so... how can we act each day to make that day as rich and long of an experience as possible?
