The more I focus on transitions, the more I notice how much they shape our days. I’m starting to wonder if transitions are one of those constant threads that show up across so many moments. I'm attaching a picture of some visuals I've been prepping for a live in-person poll at an upcoming community event. I’d love to get a sense of what that looks like for you (and your learners) right now. If there's others showing up for you, feel free to share in the comments. ⬇️ Which transitions feel trickiest at the moment?

Starting now 💜 It's more like lunch and chat today 🥑

This started as a small moment — one of those times where I noticed I was talking… and it wasn’t helping. I decided to draw things out with my daughter, and was encouraged by the shift. I shared it as a Reel. And it seemed to resonate with people... So I made a longer video to unpack it — because this isn’t really about behaviour… it’s about what’s hard to see. Time is one of those things. When time isn’t visible, we end up relying on words to carry too much. And sometimes, that’s where things start to break down. Here's the video if you'd like to explore. I'm also available next week for a virtual coffee chat drop-in if you'd like to talk about it in real time!

I’ve been thinking a lot about spaces lately. Not in how they look, but in how we move through them. Our craft / game cabinet has been a friction point. Markers weren’t going back where I thought they “belonged.” Cards were in random bins. And this one giant basket had turned into a mix of: • new paper • good-on-one-side paper • half-finished colouring sheets • totally abandoned projects Plus there were pages just living on the table with no home at all. As I was resetting it, I realized something: the space wasn’t showing anyone what to do. It only made sense in my head. So we added a few simple visuals and separated things out — not in a rigid way, just in a “this is where paused work goes” kind of way. It’s small. But it changes the tone. Instead of “why is this everywhere?” it becomes “oh, it lives here for now.” I’ve been talking this week about how transitions aren’t just about trying harder — they’re about making expectations visible. I’m curious — have you ever adjusted a space and noticed it shift the energy in the room? I’d love to hear your perspective.
