The goal
Be more present with my family by the end of the quarter
Make it yours: change the highlighted parts and the wording. In Ascanti the dates are set from the quarter you start in.
How you'll know you got there
Device-free family time most days, regular one-on-one time with each person, and my family notices the difference.
Why this works
Being present is less about big gestures than small, protected moments: phones away at dinner, regular one-on-one time with each person, actually listening at the end of the day. This plan picks a few of those rituals, protects them in your calendar, and asks your family how it's going.
Milestones
One checkpoint for each month of the quarter.
- Month 1Rituals chosen: device-free times agreed with the family and in the calendar
- Month 2Holding: rituals kept most days and one-on-one time with each person
- Month 3Checked in: asked the family what's better and adjusted
Key results
Numbers you can check at any point to see whether you're on track.
- Device-free family dinners per week: 5 dinners
- One-on-one outings or activities: 12 outings
