Good morning. It’s Friday.
If your brain’s at 40 percent and your coffee’s doing the heavy lifting, you’re not alone. Just do what needs doing and leave the rest for Monday.

But before the weekend begins, take a second. Not to reflect deeply. Just to notice.

You can move fast all week and still have no idea what you actually touched. The calendar fills, tasks get crossed off, meetings end.

But speed doesn't always mean impact. Sometimes, it's just motion.

If this week felt like a blur, you're not alone.

Recent studies show that burnout isn’t just caused by overwork, but by a lack of connection to purpose. That disconnect between your effort and what actually matters to you is where the energy can leak out.

So take a moment to notice where your energy went. Effort, time, attention. It all went somewhere, even if you didn’t notice.

You don’t have to justify how you spent it. But you deserve to know where it went.
Just give it a moment before you move on.

“The Curiosity Edit”

Today’s Insight: Rejection Hurts

The Brain Processes Social and Physical Pain in the Same Regions
Recent studies show that experiences of social rejection, such as being excluded or ignored, activate the same brain regions associated with physical pain. This includes areas like the anterior cingulate cortex and the insula. Your brain doesn’t draw a sharp line between emotional and physical pain. It processes both through the same system.
