From now on, every annoying ad will be a little respite for your eyes and mind.

The first kingdom is rich and powerful, filled with wealthy, prosperous people, the second is humbler, but has its fair share of wealth and power. The third kingdom is struggling and poor, and barely has an army.

The kingdoms eventually go to war over control of the lake, as it's a valuable resource to have. The first kingdom sends 100 of its finest knights, clad in the best armour and each with their own personal squire. The second kingdom sends 50 knights, with fine leather armour and a few dozen squires of their own. The third kingdom sends their one and only knight, an elderly warrior who has long since passed his prime, with his own personal squire.

The night before the big battle, the knights in the first kingdom drink and party into the late hours of the night. The knights in the second kingdom aren't as well off, but have their own supply of grog and drink well into the night.

In the third camp, the faithful squire gets a rope and swings it over the branch of a tall tree, making a noose, and hangs a pot from it. He fills the pot with stew and has a humble dinner with the old knight.

The next morning, the knights in the first two kingdoms are hungover and unable to fight, while the knight in the third kingdom is old weary, unable to get up.

In place of the knights, the squires from all three kingdoms go and fight. The battle lasts long into the night but by the time the dust settled, only one squire was left standing - the squire from the third kingdom.

And it just goes to show you that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.

The end of the week has come, the last thing to do is initiate new business, a new conversation or a new idea on the day that is the close out from the week.

Anything new brought up on a Friday can wait until Monday for a discussion or a plan. If it can get taken care of right then then go ahead, but further conversations needed, start Monday.

Then plan whatever you want to do on a Sunday the week ahead. These boundaries help give your mind a break from logistics and planning so it can have a day of rest to just be.

The body might be happy out and about but the mind really wants a day off from figuring life out.

Without a new project to worry about over the weekend and logistics for Sunday taken care of ahead of time, your mind can take a little rest.

Additionally, on weeknights adopt a no logistics after 9pm policy. Your brain will thank you for not trying to figure everything out just before bed.
