Now, More Than Ever — December 30, 2025

TL;DR
Today’s focus- Do a 10-minute home readiness sweep: entry points, lighting, and quick-access essentials.
- Run a “fresh start” kit check: replace missing items, restock what you used, verify what still works.
- Pick one system to upgrade in January: access control, medical readiness, or storage.
Preparedness That Actually Gets Done
Small wins10-Minute Home Sweep
Walk your exterior like you are a stranger. Check visibility, doors, garage access, and dark corners.
Fix one thing today, even if it’s just a bulb or a latch.
“Fresh Start” Kit Check
Open your kit, confirm contents, and replace what’s missing. Your gear only matters if it’s complete and reachable.
- Accessibility beats perfection. If it is buried in a closet, it is not ready.
- One location rule: keep your everyday essentials in the same spot, every time.
- January goal: upgrade one habit, not ten. Consistency wins.

- When you park: note the nearest well-lit path back.
- When you get home: pause before you step out. Quick scan. Then move with purpose.
