Every evening, 9pm, recurring, I have a calendar reminder:
**What happened with each kid today?**
Not a journal.
Not a reflection exercise.
Just 2 minutes of mentally scanning:
- Did I see them?
- Did I Pause?
- Was there anything that needs Repair tomorrow?
It's a forcing function.
Without it, the day closes without me noticing what I missed.
Cost: 5 minutes.
Yield: I show up slightly more deliberately the next morning.
**Drop one thing that actually works for you.**
Not what you think should work. What actually does.
