Read with a question
Make room for ideas beyond the demands of the day. Before reading, name a real question you’re working through. Let it guide your attention without forcing every idea to fit.
Notice the assumption
When a passage stays with you, ask which belief it challenges. Write down what you agree with, what you question, and what deserves another look.
Take one idea into practice
Choose a small experiment rather than a sweeping promise. What is one conversation, question, or action that would help you explore the idea?
