My Sunday resets usually me with tea and peace and quiet somewhere in my home. I create weekly schedule being creative as possible to help me stay on task and then plan out my weekly schedules. It’s truly amazing and I really be on task weekly. I actually started this year. I also have a jar I keep weekly notes joy of the week notes.

I started this couple years ago with my family but did not complete because my family was unable to find daily joys. So I decided this year I would do a weekly joy note. And on NYE I plan on reading my weekly joys out loud to my family. Hoping I inspire them all to start a tradition with themselves.

OOOOOOOh!!! That is INTENTIONALITY right there! I love the idea that there is the intent to go back to it at the end of the year.

Rituals are so important.

Setting an intention for the day (or the next meeting, or your talk with your partner, or the night out with friends).

The gratitude at the end of the day.

The lighting a candle for when you’re writing.

I do a Sunday summit too where I look at the week gone by and the week ahead.

Thanks for the mention of Tiny Magic for it is truly all around!

This is wonderful! I look forward to reading your future writings about Neurodiversity. I agree that rituals are so important. There are things I feel my days are incomplete without. I like your to-do calendar better than the standard one I keep. Seems less daunting and kinder.
