Way fun format! I skimmed at first, thinking, "I'm not going to read all this!", but then got drawn in.

I especially love your wording on 4.3.1: "Go for walks--you used to love walks." Using any day (not just this imaginary one) to restore things we cared about that have gotten crowded out is a great use of the gift of 24 hours.

Hey, that's a gift we can give ourselves.
