Many people are disorganized and overwhelmed and fall asleep every night feeling like, “I didn’t accomplish enough. There’s still so much to do.” Many people rely on digital tools (phone apps, online calendars, alerts, reminders, etc.) to stay organized, but all the digital noise (and excessive screen time) leaves us feeling drained and sick. Many people cram their day with nonstop tasks and chores, while leaving almost no space for mental and physical health, quality time with loved ones, quiet time alone, time in nature, and other experiences that bring beauty into our lives. Many people wildly overestimate what they can realistically achieve in a single day, and then continually feel “behind.”
Solution: Un-complicate things. Plan your day in a thoughtful and realistic way. Get back to basics. Simple daily checklist. One piece of paper. A pen. A clipboard. A checklist you can physically hold in your hands, not a list on your computer or phone. A checklist is one of the world’s oldest, simplest, and best productivity systems, dating all the way back to the Roman Empire. Just like our modern culture has rediscovered yoga (an ancient practice with so many benefits) it’s time to rediscover…the art of the checklist!

Dopo un macabro incubo in cui trova la madre sgozzata nel proprio letto, Jack, sedicenne come tanti, viene catapultato in un altro pianeta e costretto a intraprendere un sentiero di morte, sangue e crudeltà. Riuscirà il suo esile cuore a resistere alle fiamme divine e permettergli così di salvare la Grande Costellazione? L'oblio incombe… Jack, sedicenne appassionato di arti marziali, dopo un macabro incubo in cui trova la madre sgozzata nel proprio letto, inizia a indagare quando rivive alcune parti del sogno. Accompagnato dal suo inseparabile amico Max, si ritrova a pedinare un losco e terrificante vecchio. Da semplice indagine, tutto si trasforma in un qualcosa di surreale quando uno strambo individuo lo raggiunge raccontandogli una storia inverosimile che lo vede come l'essere umano scelto dalla grande divinità creatrice dei dieci mondi per salvare la Grande Costellazione dell'imminente oblio. Trasportato su Abram, il pianeta dei mercanti, si rende conto che tutto è reale e che davanti a lui, ha un percorso da compiere al di fuori delle sue possibilità. Ma lo spirito di Ashar, dio del sole, ha scelto lui e con tutte le debolezze che un essere umano di sedici anni ha, non può far altro che andare avanti. Santos, astro protettore della natura, è il suo maestro e insieme a Gabriel, urano custode del potere del fulmine e Boris, re dei folletti, si ritrova a dover affrontare la più difficile missione della sua vita. Imprigionati dal losco signore di Ishcor e costretti a combattere fino all'ultimo sangue nell'arena, i quattro compagni affrontano battaglie violente e sanguinose. Quando ormai sembrano spacciati e prossimi alla morte, Jack perde il controllo vittima del sogno di iniziazione con il quale Marmorn, antico re terrestre, cerca di sfruttarne gli immensi poteri. Nella perdizione più totale, il giovane terrestre si trasforma da vittima in carnefice macchiandosi le mani del sangue di innumerevoli vittime. L'eroe salvatore annunciato dalle sacerdotesse di Numit lascia il posto a una terrificante creatura famelica assetata di sangue. Impotenti, i suoi tre maestri proveranno in ogni modo a impedire ai tre sogni di iniziazione di manifestarsi. Ma l'oscurità si mostrerà subdola e infame. Lo scontro finale tra Jack e Santos segnerà l'animo del Salvatore avvicinandolo spaventosamente a Marmorn. Le fiamme divine riusciranno a risplendere nella più totale oscurità? PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
