Take 1-5 minutes to set your compass for a mindful, great day. 

I took my own challenge: a daily compass on a sticky note for a month...that became a year.

I spent 1-3 minutes a day. I started looking forward to briefly picturing the people I'd be with at home or work, and what might be happening for us all and matter most.

I came away with more creative ideas and meaningful actions for the day. These helped me move my work and book forward—and close the gap starting to grow with my 10-year-old daughter.

Over time, I found powerful patterns. For example, two principles started coming up every day as pictures: a dot with rays around it (for focus on what's simple and impactful) and a heart with ears (for listen with love).

Try it! Use a simple print-and-fold journal below with a month of mini-compasses and a page of prompts—or just use a sticky note!
