Personal Year 4 — Build the Foundation

Traditional interpretations say Year 4 is labour, limits, systems. People try to outrun it. Then they wonder why the 5 year feels like a collapse rather than a journey. Foundations are boring until they are absent.

Build one structure that will still be standing in Year 8: a savings habit, a sleep hour, a craft. Do not build twelve. Four is allergic to drama and grateful for repetition.

A slog that produces a floor is not a slog. It is architecture.
