A Monthly Rhythm Template To Help You Focus
We previously explored how living with rhythm and not rigid rules can help create a life with more flow and less overwhelm. We shared a Weekly Rhythm Template, but a thoughtful question came up:
“What if you’re in full-time work and your weeks are mostly fixed?”
That sparked something bigger: perhaps what’s also needed is a Monthly Rhythm Template. A tool that helps zoom out, notice what’s needed, and bring intentionality to a longer stretch of time.

Not Sure What You Value Most? This Will Help.
There are lots of books out there that talk about living with purpose, but sometimes it’s hard to name what your individual purpose actually is. Before setting goals or making big life changes, it helps to pause and ask: What really matters to me?
It’s a surprisingly tough question — especially in a world that’s always rushing us toward the next thing. But if we want to live intentionally, especially in retirement or during a life reset, we need to slow down and get clear on what drives us at a deeper level.

Create A Sanctuary In Nature – The First V2MOM
For a while now, I’ve been trying to define what matters most in this new chapter of life.

A place that’s calm, beautiful, and decluttered, where we can grow a few vegetables, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, and share a pot of coffee with a friends and neighbours. A place that helps us and others breathe again.

Redefining My BHAGs: A Slower, Wiser Kind of Audacity
I’ve spent more paper—and more time—than I care to admit trying to figure out my personal BHAGs. You know, those Big Hairy Audacious Goals that are meant to push you out of your comfort zone and into some grand future.
But the more I wrestled with it, the more I realized this chapter of life isn’t about doing more. It’s about being more. Not in a passive or shrinking way but in a deeper, more present, more meaningful way.
