Three domains — health, wealth and relationships — four focuses each, and one keystone at the centre: Notice, which is itself week one. Every lap of the year begins by paying attention, then cycles the three domains a week at a time. Tap a slice on the wheel to meet its focus; press Play to walk the thirteen.

HEALTH

Your health

  1. Week 2

    Eat Less

    Not a diet — a direction. Most of us eat past the point of need most days; just less, today, is the whole instruction.

  2. Week 5

    Move More

    The body is built to move and rewards you for it. Stairs, walks, carrying the shopping — motion woven through the day beats the occasional heroic workout.

  3. Week 8

    Breathe Deeply

    The one lever on your nervous system you can pull anywhere, for free. A few slow, deep breaths change the state you’re in — use them on purpose.

  4. Week 11

    Sleep Well

    Sleep is when the repairs happen. Guard the hours, darken the room, park the phone — almost everything else gets easier when this is right.

WEALTH

Your wealth

  1. Week 3

    Create Vision of More Life to All

    Wealth starts as picture-making. Hold a clear vision of more life — for you and for everyone your work touches — and keep it in view every day.

  2. Week 6

    Mean It

    A vision you don’t mean is a daydream. Commit — say it like you mean it, and act like it’s already on its way.

  3. Week 9

    Believe It

    Belief is the bridge between the picture and the doing. Expect it to work; doubt quietly starves the whole machine.

  4. Week 12

    Be Grateful For It

    Gratitude in advance and in arrears. Thankful for what’s here and what’s coming — it keeps you connected to the source of all of it.

RELATIONSHIPS

Your relationships

  1. Week 4

    Love More

    The simplest instruction on the wheel, and the deepest. More warmth, more patience, more benefit of the doubt — given first, not earned.

  2. Week 7

    Give Impression of Increase

    Let everyone you deal with be a little better off for it. People should leave a conversation with you feeling larger, not smaller.

  3. Week 10

    Want For Everyone What You Want For Yourself

    The advancement you want — want it for everybody. Competing shrinks the world; wanting everyone to win grows it.

  4. Week 13

    Act as a God Among Gods

    Carry yourself as a creator among creators — and treat everyone else as one too. No grovelling, no lording it; equals, making things.
