10Q
This one is fun: They send you a question a day from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. You can answer on the day they come or do several at a time. You have until a few days after Yom Kippur to finalize your answers, and then they’re sealed in the vault…until next year, when you get a chance to reread them and reflect on how much has changed and how much is different in your life.
