Winston Churchill suffered from depression. He called it his "black dog," a shadow that followed him everywhere, even at the height of power. But Churchill had a method. Not medication. Not a therapist. Bricks.

At his Chartwell estate in Kent, he laid 200 bricks a day. By hand. Wall after wall, row after row. He built garden walls, outbuildings, entire structures. Not for the result. For the act itself.

The principle was simple: keep the hands busy to quiet the mind. When dark thoughts rose, he grabbed a trowel. When anxiety paralyzed him, he laid a brick. Then another. Then 198 more.

Churchill took it so seriously he joined the bricklayers' union. Officially. With a membership card. The British Prime Minister, a card-carrying member of the construction workers' union.

The quote attributed to him says it all: depression hates a moving target. Don't stop. Don't think. Lay a brick. Then another.

200 bricks a day. And an empire to hold together.
