Across the Month
How one goal, chosen once, travels down — from the month, into each week, onto the mornings it claimed.
One critical monthly goal — [M1] Launch dashboard v3 — chosen on the first of October. Follow the red thread: it's pulled into each week as that week's [M1] line, and from there onto the specific mornings it became the day's one thing. It claimed nine of them.
