The Arete Book
A printed companion to the year — the same practice, on paper. A5, 151 pages, a week at a time. No calendar dates printed, so it starts whenever you do.
A week at a time, not a day at a time.
Each spread is one week: a tracker page for Monday through Thursday, with your non-negotiables at the top, and a review page for Friday through Sunday with a six-part check-in — body, mind, rest, work, people, meaning.
Monthly and quarterly pages fold in at their own weeks, and five practice pages teach the next stage of breathing, meditation and stretching as the year goes on.
It’s undated by design. The book runs on the week you’re in, not a printed calendar, so it never guilts you about a January you skipped.
On the first page you write yourself a letter. It stays sealed until the quarterly check-ins ask you to open it again.
Two pages, once a week
Room to write, four lines a day.
A5, hardcover, linen wrap, matte finish. 151 pages, printed in color. How it lays flat for daily writing is what the first proof is testing.
60# white, uncoated. First proofs are what settle whether it takes pen and pencil without ghosting.
$35. Plus shipping and tax at checkout. Nothing is charged until the printer date is fixed.
