How to Plan a Holiday Full of Meaningful Moments

Not sure how to get started with personal development over the holidays? A simple plan that leaves room for play, learning, and rest can help you make the most of your free time.

Start by writing down three things you’d like to try before the end of summer. Break one of them into small steps and choose when you’ll work on it; keep the others as options for days when you feel like a change. Include some downtime, too, so your plan doesn’t become another to-do list. That way, you’ll have some structure while still being free to adjust your plans to suit your mood and circumstances.
