Instead of trying to change everything at the start of a month, choose one intention: “We read together,” “We walk twice,” or “We keep ten minutes of conversation after dinner.” Make it small enough to appear even in a busy week.
Use a simple mark when it happens, without a points total or comparison. At month end, ask: Was the intention clear? What got in the way? Do we repeat it or choose something new?
Quick template: Our intention is ___ because we want to feel ___, and our smallest step this week is ___.
