🎯 Today's Focus: The Stoic Sign Off

It's Friday. Your focus is doing the moonwalk toward the weekend. Half your team has mysteriously developed a case of afternoon "appointments," and you’re one Slack message away from joining them. But before you go…

🏔️ Your Stoic View 

"Every evening, review your day. What weakness did you overcome? What habit did you improve? What temptation did you resist?"

- Seneca

The end of your week isn't always about pushing through or grinding harder. It's your chance to close the chapter thoughtfully, to learn from what's behind you before moving forward.

⚡️ Your Action Plan

  1. Take 5 quiet minutes (yes, right now)

  2. Ask: "What challenged me this week?"

  3. Note: "What would I do differently?"

  4. Choose one lesson to carry forward

That's it. You're not just ending a week - you're gathering wisdom for the next one.

🏆 Your Quick Win 

Before you switch into weekend mode, write down one thing you learned this week that surprised you. Small insights build deep wisdom.

Stay stoic (at least until happy hour),

Jon

P.S. See you on Monday.
