The first question of the morning

Most of us answer a screen before we answer ourselves. The phone has an opinion about the day before we have had one.

Try this instead. Before anything else, one question: what am I carrying today?

Not what is on the list. What is being carried — the unfinished conversation, the worry you set down at midnight and picked up again at six, the thing you are quietly dreading. Name it once. You do not have to solve it.

The day goes differently when you know what you are carrying into it.

What did you find when you asked?
