The Betton Hills version of fine

You're proud of your routine and slightly bored by it — in the same sentence.
Your five-year plan quietly became a five-year habit.
You'd defend your life to anyone — except in your own head, at 11pm.

The two-column dinner question

At dinner this week, ask someone you trust: 'What am I better at than I was a year ago?' Sit with the pause before they answer.
Write the pause down. The topic of the pause is your next move in Betton Hills.

Rest is earned. Drift is borrowed. Betton Hills is full of people who never learned the difference — and one of them doesn't have to be you.
