One of the rituals I love to teach folks is every Sunday night. It's a great exercise to begin to think about your week ahead and just write it down, do an audio note, whatever you want to do, and ask yourself, what's the one thing that I really need to learn this week? Now, this could be a professional application. This could be personal, could be spiritual, could be physical, could be relational. What's the one thing that is most important in my life right now? An area where I need some knowledge or some wisdom. Knowledge being fact, wisdom being insight. So what's the one thing you want to learn? And then the second question is, what's the one thing. Thing I need to do? This is kind of a crystallization. You know, it's a way of just making the main thing. The main thing, what's the one thing I need to do this week? And then who's one person that I really need to connect with this week? Now, this is a formula. You can. This is nothing more than a discipline structure. But I'm always thinking about what I need to be learning, what I need to be doing and what who I need to be connecting with. So learn, do connect. And, you know, I could add a fourth one in there that sometimes I do. And I think this is the way to cap a great day, and that's to reflect.
