Ep. 3 - The Big Ass Calendar Doesn’t Lie: Planning a Year You’ll Actually Remember

Описание: Episode 3 is a real-time recap of what happened after we bought the Big-Ass Calendar and tried to plan an entire year in one sitting. Spoiler: it shocked us.
We talk about the panic of seeing so many “blank” days, how comparison can steal joy when you watch other people’s epic calendars, and what a normal day actually looks like in a household with kids, work, and nonstop responsibilities. Then we break down the big pieces we did put on the calendar, our Misogi “big thing” (75 Hard), mini family adventures, a couple bigger trips, and quarterly goals that keep family, fitness, faith, and finances moving forward without adding unrealistic pressure.
This year isn’t about filling every box, it’s about planning memories, building momentum, and letting small daily actions compound into a better year.

Highlights
“We thought we had this in the bag…” until the calendar showed how little of the year was actually planned.
The shock of blank days and the panic of feeling like you’re “supposed” to fill them.
Comparison trap: watching other people’s travel-filled calendars and realizing their “life” is totally different.
Busy days don’t mean a full year being productive daily doesn’t automatically create memorable seasons.
What a real “blank day” looks like in a family with kids: school runs, client work, gym, dinner, bedtime, late-night edits.
The big yearly challenge (Masogi): choosing 75 Hard because it impacts fitness, mindset, and life without stealing family time.
How you’ll actually do 75 Hard with kids (walks, outside workouts, weight vest, and fitting it into real life).
“Fun has to be scheduled or it disappears.” Planning mini adventures every other month to build core memories.
Vacations don’t happen by accident putting trips on the calendar forces you to protect the time and communicate it.
Quarterly goals across the pillars: daily Bible/devotional, making the bed, family walks, and reading a business book together small habits that build confidence and compound.
