Friday Debrief for July 3, 2026
I spent the beginning of this week in Niagara Falls and saw it briefly.
And the thing that got me was the math. More than 700,000 gallons of water go over those falls every second. They’ve been doing it for 12,000 years. Long before my quarterly targets, long after I’m gone, that water just keeps falling. It doesn’t check its email. It doesn’t wonder if it did enough today. It just falls.
That’s the lie a lot of us carry. That it all depends on us. That stepping back, even for a minute, is a risk we can’t afford.
So here’s the debrief I’m running into the holiday weekend, and I’d offer it to you.
What did you carry this week that was never actually yours to carry? What would still be standing if you set it down for two days?
Most of it. Maybe all of it?
The falls will keep falling whether I watch or not. My family, though. They notice when I look up. So this weekend I’m going to be the guy who looks up.
What’s one thing you can put down before Monday? Tell me, I read every reply.
Monday I’ll be back with the Focus Check. For now, set something down. Go enjoy the long weekend.
