If your whole life had to fit on a single line of stone, what would you want it to say? Start earning the line.

Reducing a life to one sentence is brutal and clarifying at the same time. Most of what fills your week would not make the cut, and what would tends to be about how you were with people rather than anything you won. Running the exercise is not morbid; it is a fast way of finding out what you actually rank first.

Write your line somewhere private, in plain words. Then look at the next seven days and find one hour that already points at it. Add a second hour, and that is the whole method, repeated for a long time.
