Tiny math for a more human life

Each day’s equation explores the small math behind focus calm and meaning.

What’s a life equation?

A life equation is a simple formula that explains something true about being human. How patience multiplies how energy divides how joy adds up. Each one takes less than a minute to read and is quiet enough to stay with you all day.

The Story Behind The Sum

The Sum of Life began as a small experiment to find my focus in a world that never stops moving.While writing one night, I couldn’t keep a single thought straight. To fill the empty space on the paper, I wrote a line that looked more like math than prose.A few words and some symbols.That simple formula made me realize that life often makes more sense when we view it in its smaller parts. What we add, what we subtract, what we multiply, and what we divide.Now equations like that live in the newsletter and on the blog as daily posts. Less than one minute reminders that sometimes life only feels complicated because we haven’t simplified it yet.If you like ideas that stay with you longer than they take to read, join others who are already reading.A new equation arrives every morning (or a little later depending on where you are in the world.)
