Welcome to Day 1 of Franklin Week — the seven‑day ritual on the last week of the year when pause, reflect, and take ownership of the year ahead. This week is named after Benjamin Franklin, who famously used the final days of each year to review his habits, refine his goals, and recommit to the virtues that shaped his life. Franklin believed that intentionality was a skill — something you practiced, not something you waited for.Today, we begin with the foundation of everything: the ownership mindset.
