A Taste of the Book
One idea from the book: keep a “first hour” list. On a single page, write the few things you’d want to do in the first hour if the power went out: find the flashlight, check on family, keep the fridge closed, and listen for local updates. A short list keeps the mind calm and the hands busy.
Follow Along
We’ll share the release date here as soon as it’s set. Until then, The Quiet Post has a new practical idea every week, and you’re always welcome to say hello.
