Fall is creeping in—school forms, Q4 chatter, and (somehow) Halloween candy in August. If you’re feeling pushed forward in time, this episode brings you back to center with two grounding routines and a few mindset helpers so you can savor the season instead of sprinting through it.
We’ll look at:
- the 12-Week Year approach to calm goal-setting (four mini “years” = fewer last-minute scrambles),
- micro-decluttering (tiny, sustainable edits over heroic overhaul days),
- and simple “anchoring adventures” that help you actually experience this season—at home, at work, and with your people.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to treat fall as its own 12-week “year” (and add one personal goal on purpose)
✅ A micro-declutter routine you can keep up (inspired by the Washington Post’s low-lift challenge)
✅ Why the viral “poop rule” gets clicks—and what actually lasts for busy families
✅ How to plan one big adventure/year, one monthly outing, and one mini at-home moment each week
✅ A low-stress way to steady your work life (coffee chats, small wins, and weekly “inside your role” mini-adventures)
✅ What to do when uncertainty hits (rescinded offers, lease panic, or the news): build routines that hold
