I start on Friday at lunch, to finish the workweek strong. The end of the challenge thus falls on mid-Sunday, which leaves ample time to recover while allowing for family time and a life.You can, of course, start at any time. Let me know how that went.I made a little pdf you can download for free.The Link goes to "buy me a coffee", which is a small indie-creator platform, kinda like shopify or patreon.Have fun
