We spend so much of our lives focused on what needs to get done, what we're working toward, and what comes next. And while I'm obviously a big believer in goals and planning, I'm becoming an even bigger believer in planning for the parts of life that don't necessarily accomplish anything at all. The tiny surprises. The handwritten notes. Remembering someone's favorite snack. Turning an ordinary Tuesday into something they'll remember. Mr. Narwhal and his Magical Mailbox started as something silly in our house, but somewhere along the way, he reminded me of something much bigger. Not everything productive produces something we can measure. Sometimes making progress in our lives also means making room for more joy, connection, imagination, and a little bit of magic.
We talk about..
Maybe planning for the life we want isn't only about deciding what we're going to accomplish next. Maybe it's also deciding what we want our lives to feel like while we're living them.
Make it magical.
I created a step-by-step weekly planning prompt you can use with your favorite AI tool to walk you through it.
