You’re probably pretty stressed right now, aren’t you? You’re not alone:

Researchers say they quizzed 3,000 people about stress levels and discovered that half pin-pointed mid-morning on Tuesday as their ‘stress peak’.

The majority of workers said they coast through Monday getting their brain in gear and catch up with gossip from the weekend and discussing TV shows they’ve watched.

But on Tuesday reality sets in and staff spend the very first part of the day going through emails they ignored on Monday before planning the week ahead.


Eh, reality can wait until Wednesday. Why not take a break and read some articles from the archives of First Things . We’ve opened up the archives for non-subscribers, so you can read twenty years worth of the magazine’s content for free online. You can also get access to the last ten issues by signing up for a digital subscription . A yearly digital subscription is only $15 (print subscribers get free access to the online edition).

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
