Summer has a way of pulling us off our normal rhythm. The routines that hold the rest of the year together like the early alarm, the tight schedule, the steady cadence of work, all tend to loosen up in summer. More travel. Kids are home. The days get longer and looser, and the usual structure just isn't there in the same way. Some treat this as a problem to manage around. But it doesn't have to be. The season provides an opportunity to reset your daily structure around what’s most important. That's the whole idea behind the Monk Manual. Not another planner to manage more, but a daily practice of preparation, action, reflection that helps you build your days around what's meaningful. |
