  • It Doesn’t Matter When You Do It

    It Doesn’t Matter When You Do It

    I’ve written about this here before, but I still get asked the question:

    When is the best time to do the readings.

    There isn’t one.

    That’s the answer most people don’t want.

    For me, first thing in the morning is usually best.
    Coffee. Silence. Sunrise.

    The day hasn’t gotten ahold of me yet. But it will. If I don’t read first before opening anything else up, the chances I get to the end without doing it are pretty high.

    Others say late at night works better.
    House quiet. Phone down. Brain slower.

    The best time of day to read is the time you will actually do it.

    If you’re waiting for the perfect rhythm, you’ll keep waiting.

    You don’t need ideal conditions.
    You need repeatable conditions.

    Five minutes before work.
    Ten minutes at lunch.
    Last thing before bed.

    It’s not about the clock.

    It’s about consistency.

    If you’re not sure when to read, pick a time today and test it for a week.

    Adjust later.

    But don’t stall while trying to optimize.

    Keep reading.

  • Readings for 2/15 – 2/21

    Readings for 2/15 – 2/21

    Another week.

    Nothing dramatic.
    Nothing complicated.
    Just the next set of readings.

    That’s the strategy.

    As always:

    • Read the chapter of Proverbs that matches the day of the month.
    • Work through the weekly readings as your schedule allows.
    • About 20 minutes a day. Often less.

    That’s it.

    No catch-up.
    No pressure.
    No commentary.

    Just steady progress.

    A reminder:

    If you’re behind, you’re not behind.

    There are no streak counters here.
    No one tracking your progress.
    No scoreboard.

    If you stopped yesterday, start again today.
    If you haven’t started yet, start now.
    If you missed last week, ignore it.

    This isn’t about perfection.
    It’s about repetition.

    Over time, repetition becomes understanding.
    Understanding becomes perspective.
    Perspective becomes stability.

    Quietly.
