Summer has the opposite problem of every other season. The calendar looks open. The pace feels loose. And then somewhere around late July, you look up and realize the things you said you wanted to do this summer — the day trip, the slow morning, the dinner with the friend — never actually happened. Not because anything went wrong. Just because the time was there, and then it wasn't.
In this first module, we're going to make the season visible before it slips by. You'll gather your sources, lay out the June–August calendars, and start capturing the fixed events, tasks, and deadlines that are already on the horizon. This simple process creates a clear overview of the season so you can see what you have to work with — and start protecting the space inside it.
Watch This First
Start by watching the short video below. I'll walk you through the purpose of each step and share a few tips that will make the process easier. Then download and print the workbook pages and work through the steps at your own pace. You don't need to complete everything perfectly in one sitting — the goal is simply to get the season mapped so you can see what's coming and protect what matters.
