1. Your energy remains low through Tuesday; then a month of vigor, charisma and success arrives. However, stick with the old: any projects begun now to July 28 will "never end. (How does 'begun' work here? I don't see the verb accompanying 'began'?)

Thanks.

Hi, Jack

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll give it a try. I think there is an "implied" or "understood" phrase ("...any projects that you have begun now to July 28...") here.  The sentence could also be written "...any projects (that you have or that have been) started now to July 28 will never end".

«Begun» is an adjective. It relates to the word «projects».
