In today’s episode, I open with a planner peace vignette from Olga, who describes her various methods for planning in fun! Then, I delve into the topic of reading and focus, with emphasis on ideas around improving one’s focus over time with intentional time…
The Odyssey was really fun (note: A/G stayed home. A dislikes action movies/violence and G is definitely not ready for this kind of movie yet. C did go though and enjoyed it). Anyway! I feel like August is off to a very promising start.…

1- “Phase 2” of our summer officially begins next week, with G/C mostly done with camp, A done with geometry, and our nanny going on vacation. Obviously it’s a letdown that we’re not getting ready to leave for Hawaii, but I don’t think it…
