✦ Green · Day 4
Name one daily loop you're stuck in — a feed, a route, a habit. For 15 minutes, take the first link out: one different first move. Climb, don't circle.

▲ Skill · Day 6

✦ Close · Day 7
Look back at the week's traces. If every honest path climbs somewhere — what's your Philosophy page? The why you keep arriving at. Name it in one line, and keep it where you'll see it.
