Add years. Then use them.
I’m 46. This is a record of keeping the mind sharp, the body working, the soul fed, and getting out the door. You can be idle and still live a long time. It just won’t be much of a life.
The whole system
Four things, none of them optional
Body
Strength, movement, food, sleep. The maintenance nobody sees. What I actually lift, actually eat, and actually sleep …
Soul
The reasons any of the rest is worth doing. Family, friendship, purpose, and the quiet things that get crowded out …
Experience
Where it all leaves the house. Hikes, events, trips, and first attempts at things I might be bad at. Trail notes …
Mind
What I’m reading, learning, and paying attention to — and what I’ve cut to make room …
The Log
A logbook. Hikes, events, first attempts, and the weeks where nothing went right. Numbers when numbers are the point — weight, sleep, a time up a hill — and plain writing when they are not. No curation, no good weeks only.
