what would your week look like if you told the truth on monday?
most weeks start with a small lie. fine, thanks. yes, all good. the week builds from there. this question asks what would happen if you didn't start that way.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →imagine it's monday morning. someone asks how you are, and you tell the truth. write down what you'd actually say. then follow the thread through the week. what changes because you said that. what conversation happens next. who looks at you differently. who comes closer. write about what you'd stop doing if you started the week honestly. the meetings you'd skip, the messages you'd send, the things you'd finally say. then write about why you don't do this. what does the managed version of the week protect you from. be specific. write about what it would cost and what it might return.
- write the honest answer to how are you that you'd give this monday, if you could.
- describe one thing you'd do differently this week if you'd already told the truth.
- write about who you think could handle your honesty, and who you're not sure about.
this is for anyone who gets to friday and realises they spent the whole week pretending. especially if the pretending has become so automatic you barely notice it.
