Name: Month:
That's a month with meaning built in. Don't aim to overhaul your life — aim for one real, doable thing in each of the five. Then go live them.
Meaning is relational before it's anything else. Who have you been meaning to call, make things right with, or simply spend real, undistracted time with?
e.g. Call Dad every Sunday. Plan a real dinner with Sam — no phones at the table.
Making things — however small — is how you leave a mark. A meal, a song, a chapter, a fix around the house, a plan you've only ever talked about. What will you make?
e.g. Write the first 500 words of the story I keep talking about.
Meaning compounds when it points outward. Where can you give your time, help, or generosity — no scoreboard, no return expected?
e.g. Mentor the new hire for an hour a week. Volunteer one Saturday this month.
Tend your own garden. Pick one skill, discipline, or inner practice to grow this month — and protect the time for it before the month fills up.
e.g. 20 minutes of piano, four mornings a week. Read one book on negotiation.
Meaning you don't pause to notice slips by unspent. What win, person, or small daily grace will you stop and truly appreciate this month?
e.g. Throw a small dinner to mark finishing the project. Keep a nightly "one good thing" note.
Schedule next month's review now. You won't nail all five every month — but a life that keeps touching all five, again and again, is a life that feels like it mattered.
