What you are gettingThe 90-Day Bearing is the plan you draw on the last morning: ninety days of bearings you carry back to work.
Where it fitsIt is true north on the map. It takes every reading, every heading and every lintel below the line and sets them into one plan, and it is still open at day ninety.
Ideas will find you anywhere. Decisions have to be given somewhere to happen. The Bearing is drawn at the map table on the last morning, by hand, with the three headings you set on night three in front of you and the Instrument's first two readings beside them. It is written to be carried, not filed.
Everything the land gives you is at risk on the drive home. The Bearing is how it is encoded. What you learned here is written into goals, the goals into weekly work, and the work into a record you keep yourself. Setting the goal is the easy part. Doing the work, holding yourself to it in front of a partner, and documenting it as you go is what turns three days into ninety, and ninety into the level you set out to reach.
Drawn at the map table, the last morning
