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 $12From 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 gettingEach 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:
It’s meant to meet you where you are and help you begin 2026 with intention and steadier rhythms. Black Friday bonusIf 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:
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. |
