Life isn’t really made of big days. It’s made of Tuesdays. Make the Tuesdays good.

Tuesdays are where most of a life is actually stored. Birthdays, finals and holidays add up to a few dozen days a year, and everything else is ordinary, which means the ordinary ones decide what most of your time felt like. Waiting around for the big days means waiting through roughly ninety percent of it.

Upgrade a normal Tuesday this week instead of planning something enormous. A proper breakfast, a walk with somebody, music while you do the boring task. Small improvements to frequent days beat rare improvements to rare ones.
