REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Most of a life runs on arrangements nobody chose deliberately. What time you wake, what you eat, who you speak to, what you do with the first hour: these settled early, usually because of a timetable or a household that no longer exists. Defaults are not wrong, only unexamined.

Pick one default this week and change it on purpose, even trivially. A different route, a different first hour, something different on in the background. The point is less the improvement than the reminder that any of it can be adjusted at all.
