One-Sentence Commute #3 2025

the stress landscape

For the next 10 weeks, on Wednesdays, you’ll receive a one-sentence commute prompt. For 2025, all 12 are free for everyone because it’s summer and the air smells nice when it’s warm - at least until sometime in July.

Whether you’re bussing, driving, or walking to work or school or wherever it is you go, these prompts are designed to work with your brain’s relentless desire to find answers.

Ask yourself a question, wait for your mind to answer you.

This week’s question is about where your stress actually lives right now.

Your questions:

Where is the stress right now in your body?

Once you find it, describe it.

Memorize one sentence, a good sentence.

When you get to a piece of paper and 5 spare minutes, write the line and a paragraph underneath it. Use it to start your next story, essay, or poem.
