Time

Spending the only thing you cannot get more of

You will never have more time than you have now. That sounds heavy. It is actually the most freeing thing there is.

These questions help you notice what you would keep, what you would drop, and what you have been saving for an occasion that is already here.

01

What did you do last week that was actually for you?

Most weeks are for everyone else. This asks you to find your share.
02

If you could keep only five things in your week, what would they be?

Five is tight on purpose. It shows you the core.
03

If you had one year left, what would you keep doing and what would you stop at once?

Not to be dark. To be clear. Most people find the stop list surprisingly easy.
04

What have you been saving for a special occasion? The good plates, the trip, the words.

Occasions are made, not found. Use the plates.
05

What feels like a waste while you are doing it? What feels like time well spent?

You already know. Writing it down makes it harder to ignore.
06

What would your days look like if you were not in a hurry?

Hurry is a habit. Some of it is necessary. Most of it is inherited.
07

What do you want to remember about this period of your life, ten years from now?

You will not remember the scrolling. You will remember what you made a point of noticing.
08

What is one thing you will never get back, and how does it change what you do today?

The childhood, the twenties, the grandparent. Loss is a teacher if you let it be.
09

When did you last feel fully present? What were you doing?

Presence has a recipe. Find yours.
10

What is a good life, in one paragraph, for you specifically?

Not a philosopher's answer. Yours. It is allowed to be small.
11

What would you do this weekend if you treated it as the gift it is?

Forty-eight hours that nobody owns but you.
12

What matters to you more than it did five years ago? What matters less?

You have changed. Checking the list keeps your life matching you.
13

Write a letter to yourself to be opened in a year.

Seal it and it stays hidden, even from you, until the day comes. A year is shorter than it sounds.
