The Practice of the Week Week 1
The Honest Audit
A one-week snapshot of where your time and attention really go.
One simple thing. Keep it small, keep it doable, and do it with them first.
Each night this week, take five quiet minutes and write a few honest bullet points: where did my hours go today? Where did my attention go when nothing was required of me? No essays, no editing, no judging — just the truth in plain ink, the way a monk keeps a brief account of his day.
One line before sleep: Today I noticed…
At the same time each night, open your journal.
Write three to five bullet points: where your time and attention actually went.
Underline one thing that doesn’t match what you say matters most.
Leave it. Don’t fix it yet. Just notice.
May you have the courage to look, and the grace to be unashamed of what you see.
