Note: The reverse will happen when we go back in time on the trip home. We depart and arrive on the same day. With the same 24 hours air time.

i’ve drawn my conclusions, based on my actions, experiences, and observations.

The conclusions about prioritized priorities are then applied to life moving forward.

Launch, learn, revise.

Repeat.
