“If not now, when?”
- Hillel (30B.C.–10A.D.)
Babylonian scholar
Give more time…
Today is 20% of your week.
Two workdays are 10% of your month.
To lose only two workdays each month to fatigue or a desire to wait for a better day to do something, would be to lose more than a full month of workdays each year.
Imagine if your income reflected your slow days… and know that in the long run, it probably does.
47 workdays remain in the quarter. Tic toc.

Today is one month out from Christmas day.
In the GiveMore quote we published on the day after Christmas, I highlighted some history of the day and suggested that the date itself was arbitrary and that we should carry the holiday’s spirit every day. A few subscribers were a bit annoyed with some of what I said (the original "Merry Today" post is here).
I just came across another piece written about a 100 years ago by a preacher that says what I was trying to say, but so much better. It’s called "Keeping Christmas" – something I plan to remind myself with on a weekly basis (about a 3-minute read). I hope you enjoy it.
