Your 12 Days for $12 (Black Friday bonus included)


Hello Reader,

Black Friday tends to shout.

I’d rather give you something simple — something steady and useful — as you move toward (and within) the new year.

Here’s what I’m offering:

The 12 Days of TimeCrafting — just $12

From December 26th through January 6th, you’ll receive a daily email — each one carrying a new TimeCrafting gift you can use right away or return to whenever you need it.

Twelve gifts. Twelve lenses on your time. Twelve small shifts that can compound into something meaningful.

And if someone in your life could use a thoughtful start to the year, feel free to forward each day’s gift to them.

What you’re getting

Each day delivers a different tool, template, or perspective — practical enough to use immediately and durable enough to revisit long after January 6th.

Past participants often say a single day’s gift would have been worth the full price.

This bundle offers:

  • Tools you can put to work right away
  • Frameworks that stay relevant throughout the year
  • A balance of depth and accessibility — no fluff, no filler

It’s meant to meet you where you are and help you begin 2026 with intention and steadier rhythms.

Black Friday bonus

If you purchase The 12 Days of TimeCrafting before midnight PT on December 2nd, you’ll also receive one month of TimeCrafting Trust Premium, free — normally $14.

That means you’re getting:

  • A seasonal bundle worth over $160
  • Plus a full month inside the Trust — workshops, events, Focus Fix sessions, and the full library
  • All for $12

However you step into the next season, I hope you find rhythms that feel grounded and spacious enough to support the work that matters to you. If this offer helps you begin that shift, I’m glad to be part of it.

– Mike

P.S. For Black Friday weekend only, the annual TimeCrafting Trust Premium membership is $99 — and it includes The NOW Year Companion, a limited “coaching-in-a-can” bonus to help you shape your year ahead. After this weekend, the Companion goes away and the annual rate stays at $99. If you’d like the details now, click here.

P.P.S. If you have any questions about either of these offers, just reply to this email and I'll personally respond.

The Practice of Productiveness

I’m Mike Vardy, and I help people build a better relationship with time — not by controlling it, but by working with it. Through my writing, courses, and community, I explore how intention and attention shape a more meaningful life — one rooted in the original idea of productiveness over productivity.

The Lantern by Mike Vardy Vol. II, Issue 1 | February 28, 2026 Hello Reader, This week, my body made a decision before I could. I got sick. Not mildly under the weather, either. I'm talking flat-on-my-back, fever-that-won’t-break sick. I don’t get sick often, so when I do, it feels intrusive. Ill-timed. Tonight was supposed to be opening night of my son’s musical. He’s playing a major supporting role. I’ve heard the songs drifting through the house for weeks. We’ve been counting down. And I’m...

The Lantern by Mike Vardy Vol. 1, Issue 52 | February 21, 2026 Hello Reader, Haruki Murakami wrote a memoir called What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, which is about running. Except it isn’t. It’s about rhythm. Repetition. Solitude. The quiet insistence of will. Murakami wakes early. He runs long distances. He writes with a discipline that borders on monastic. I do none of those things. I am not a runner. I am not an early riser in the romanticized sense. But I do walk. And when I...

Hello Reader, There’s a moment in this PM Talks episode—our final one of Season 2—where the conversation drifts toward legacy. Not in a grand, carved-in-marble way. More like: What are we actually building when we simply do the work in front of us? I used to think legacy was something you could design with enough precision—like a workflow or a well-structured calendar. But the longer I’ve been doing this, the more obvious it becomes: I don’t control my legacy. None of us do. Legacy is the...
